• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XC105 - &1: Model does not contain vendor &2 ?

  The SAP error message XC105 with the text "Model does not contain vendor &2" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where vendor data is being processed. This error indicates that the specified vendor (represented by &2) is not included in the model that is being referenced (represented by &1).
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Not Included in Model: The primary cause of this error is that the vendor you are trying to use is not part of the planning model or data set you are working with. This could happen if the vendor was not added to the model during its configuration or if the vendor is inactive or not maintained properly in the system.
  Data Synchronization Issues: There may be issues with data synchronization between different systems (e.g., between SAP ERP and SAP APO) that could lead to the vendor not being recognized in the model.
  Model Configuration: The model may not be configured to include all relevant vendors, or there may be restrictions based on certain criteria (e.g., location, product type).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Model Configuration: Verify the configuration of the planning model to ensure that the vendor in question is included. You can do this by navigating to the model settings in the SAP APO system and checking the list of vendors associated with the model.
  Add Vendor to Model: If the vendor is not included, you may need to add it to the model. This typically involves updating the model configuration to include the vendor.
  Data Maintenance: Ensure that the vendor master data is correctly maintained in the system. Check if the vendor is active and has the necessary data (e.g., purchasing info records, conditions) set up.
  Data Synchronization: If you suspect data synchronization issues, ensure that the data is correctly replicated between the systems. You may need to run data transfer jobs or check for any errors in the data transfer process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to manage models and vendors in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC62 (for model maintenance) or /SAPAPO/MC67 (for vendor maintenance) to access the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify model configurations and vendor data.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP APO or the specific module you are working with.
