Forecast Process Chain running into red

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we have a process chain for forecasting DP clusters which runs into red for certain clusters with the message:

<b>Select characteristic value combinations for generation</b>

Is there a possibility that these step is not turning into red or is it a standard behaviour to run into red if there are no CVC in this cluster?

Thanks in advance
