  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC837
  
  Text: Maintain planned quantities for item &1 &2, key figure &3 on planning level &4
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP SCM when the system expects planned quantities (planned independent requirements, planned orders, or other key figures) to be maintained for a specific product (item) and key figure on a particular planning level, but these quantities are missing or not maintained.
  In other words, the planning run or a related process requires planned quantities for the specified product and key figure at the given planning level, but these quantities have not been entered or are incomplete.
  
  Explanation of the placeholders:
  
  &1 = Material number (product/item)
  &2 = Plant or location
  &3 = Key figure (e.g., PIR - Planned Independent Requirements, Forecast, etc.)
  &4 = Planning level (e.g., location-product, product, location, etc.)
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When running a planning run (e.g., SNP planning, DP planning), the system checks for planned quantities.
  If planned quantities are missing for a key figure that is mandatory for the planning run, this error is triggered.
  It can also occur during data transfer or integration steps where planned quantities are expected but not found.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Planned Quantities:
  
  Go to the relevant planning transaction (e.g., in SAP APO DP: /SAPAPO/SDP94 or /SAPAPO/SDP6).
  Enter or upload the planned quantities (e.g., PIRs) for the specified material, plant, key figure, and planning level.
  Save the data.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Level Settings:
  
  Verify that the planning level &4 is correctly set up and active for the product and key figure.
  Ensure that the planning version and planning level are consistent.
  
  
  
  Check Key Figure Configuration:
  
  Confirm that the key figure &3 is correctly defined and assigned in the planning area.
  Make sure that the key figure is relevant for the planning run you are executing.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Check if the master data (product, location) is correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the planning version and planning area are consistent and active.
  
  
  
  Upload Data if Needed:
  
  If planned quantities are maintained outside SAP APO (e.g., in ECC or external systems), ensure that the data transfer (CIF or other interfaces) is working correctly.
  Re-import or re-transfer planned quantities if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning or error depending on the configuration and the process step.
  It is important to maintain planned quantities for key figures that are mandatory for the planning run to avoid incomplete or incorrect planning results.
  In some cases, the message can be suppressed or handled by customizing, but it is generally recommended to maintain the required data.
