Not possible to carry out the forecast - no historical data

Hi all,

in APO release 4.1, we face the following problem.

In a process chain for DP background processing a material with historical data can not be forecasted and the log states the following error message: "Not possible to carry out the forecast - no historical data" ("Message no. /SAPAPO/MA502")

Does anyone know why we get these error message?

Thanks in advance

Tobias

Dear Tobias ,

You probably have configured to extract the history for the forecasting from R/3 through BW .

Check for the execution of the job wherein the history is loaded from R/3 .

This message comes after background job for Demand Plan is executed as due to univariate forecasting tool applied there is no history available to prepare the forecast .

Hello Tobias -

Are you uploading the historical data from a Flatfile or transferring it from R/3?

Are you able to view the data once it is loaded into an infocube?

Take a look at the assignment of historical keyfigure to the infocube in Planning area?

If you are assignments are there then look at your CVC combinations?

Also take a look at your planning book are you able to see the historical data that you uploaded populating there?

hope this helps
