  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Forecasting and Replenishment process (often in the context of SAP Retail or SAP APO Demand Planning) when the system is unable to calculate forecasted issues or receipts for a particular article (material).
  Common causes include:
  
  
  Missing or Incomplete Master Data:
  
  The article (material) master data is incomplete or missing key fields required for forecasting.
  Missing or incorrect planning parameters such as planning strategy, lot size, or procurement type.
  
  
  
  No Historical Data Available:
  
  The system cannot find historical sales or consumption data for the article to base the forecast on.
  
  
  
  Incorrect or Missing Forecast Model Settings:
  
  Forecast model or planning version is not properly maintained or assigned.
  Forecast profile or planning parameters are not set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues:
  
  Inconsistent or missing data in related tables (e.g., sales history, receipts, stock data).
  
  
  
  Authorization or System Issues:
  
  User may lack authorization to access certain data.
  System inconsistencies or errors during data transfer or calculation.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WT726 error, consider the following steps:

  Ensure the material is flagged for forecasting/planning.
  
  
  
  Verify Historical Data:
