What causes this issue?

To read the POS sales data in the update program for promotion budgets,
you use the default implementation of the Business Add-In (BAdI)
<DS:SIMG.WRF_PPW_X_POS_READ_E>WRF_PPW_X_POS_READ_E</>, method
POS_DATA_READ. In this process, the POS sales data is read via
retraction from SAP BI. To do this, you have to specify the name of the
analytics application and a corresponding method in Customizing for
Price Planning, under <DS:SIMG.W_PPW_0001>Configure General Parameters
</>. At least one of the two values is not available.
In addition, you have to define the analytics application and the method
beforehand in the <DS:BOOK.SIMG_BWAA>settings for data retraction</>.

do not want to use the default implementation with the predefined logic.
