  Error Message
  WOD1031: Consumption values do not exist for material &
  
  The ampersand (&) is a placeholder for the material number.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to perform a consumption-based planning or forecasting activity (such as in Demand Management, MRP, or Forecasting) but cannot find any historical consumption data for the specified material.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  The material has no recorded consumption or sales history in the system.
  The consumption data has not been maintained or is missing in the relevant tables.
  The material is newly created and has no past consumption data.
  The system is trying to calculate forecast or planning values based on consumption history, but the data is incomplete or absent.
  
  
  Explanation
  Consumption values are essential for certain planning methods like consumption-based planning (e.g., reorder point planning, forecast based on past consumption). If these values are missing, the system cannot calculate the forecast or planning quantities, leading to this error.
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check Consumption Data:
  
  Verify if consumption data exists for the material.
  Use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MC.9 (Consumption Analysis) to check historical consumption.
  Check tables like MSEG (Material Document Segment) or MKPF (Material Document Header) for consumption postings.
  
  
  
  Maintain Consumption Data:
  
  If the material is new and has no consumption history, you may need to:
  
  Wait until consumption data is available.
  Manually enter consumption data if appropriate (e.g., via transaction MB1A for goods issue).
  Use planned independent requirements (PIRs) or forecast values instead of consumption-based planning.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Strategy:
  
  If consumption data is not available or not reliable, consider changing the planning strategy to one that does not rely on consumption history.
  For example, use Make-to-Order or Planning with PIRs instead of consumption-based planning.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the planning strategy and forecasting settings are correctly configured.
  Verify that the material master data (MRP views) is properly maintained, especially fields related to forecasting and planning.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks or data cleanup if consumption data is expected but missing due to data corruption or incomplete postings.

  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  No consumption data exists for the material, so forecast/planning cannot be calculated.
  
  
  Effect
  Planning or forecasting processes fail with error WOD1031.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify and maintain consumption data, adjust planning strategy, or enter forecast data manually.
  
  
  Tools
  MD04, MC.9, MB51, MD61, MD70, and relevant tables (MSEG, MKPF).
