• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC271 - Quantity mismatch for key figure &1 and assortment &2 at level &3 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC271 Quantity mismatch for key figure &1 and assortment &2 at level &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically in the Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning modules, when there is a quantity mismatch between a key figure and the corresponding assortment at a certain planning level.
  
  Key figure &1: This is the planning key figure (e.g., demand quantity, forecast quantity) involved in the mismatch.
  Assortment &2: The assortment or product grouping related to the key figure.
  Level &3: The planning level (e.g., product/location, product/customer) where the mismatch is detected.
  
  The mismatch means that the quantity values in the key figure do not align with the quantities defined or expected in the assortment at the specified level. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect or inconsistent master data (e.g., product master, assortment definitions).
  Data load or integration errors where quantities are not properly aggregated or disaggregated.
  Planning data inconsistencies after manual changes or data transfers.
  Incorrect key figure assignments or calculation rules.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When uploading or transferring planning data, the system checks consistency between key figures and assortments.
  During planning runs or data aggregation, if the sum of quantities in the key figure does not match the sum in the assortment, this error is triggered.
  When key figures are assigned to assortments incorrectly or when assortments are incomplete.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Master Data Consistency:
  
  Verify that the assortment &2 is correctly defined and assigned to the relevant products and planning levels.
  Ensure that product master data and location/customer assignments are correct.
  
  
  
  Validate Key Figure Assignments:
  
  Check the key figure &1 configuration in the planning area.
  Confirm that the key figure is assigned to the correct planning level and assortment.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:
  
  Run consistency checks or data validation reports in APO to identify discrepancies.
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/OM17 (Consistency Check) or relevant planning area checks.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Reload Data:
  
  If the error occurred after data load, try reloading or correcting the source data.
  Check the data transfer process (e.g., CIF, DP data load) for errors.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Levels or Aggregation:
  
  Review the planning level &3 to ensure it matches the aggregation level of the key figure and assortment.
  Adjust aggregation or disaggregation rules if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Book and Data View:
  
  In Demand Planning, check the planning book and data view settings to ensure key figures and assortments are correctly linked.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WRF_APC271 for any known bugs or patches.
