Why key figure, Actuals Qty has figure in the future period in SAP IBP Demand?

[Peng_Lu]

Hi SAP IBP experts,

I have simple question.

The table below is copied from SAP IBP excel add-in, as my understanding, key figure, Actuals Qty, should be the historical delivered quantity, it should not have the figure in the future, but now it is August, why actuals qty has figure in the future period, like Sep, Oct, Nov. Dec.?

Thanks a lot.  

Product ID	Location ID	Customer ID	Key Figure	Jun-24	Jul-24	Aug-24	Sep-24	Oct-24	Nov-24	Dec-24	Jan-25	Feb-25	Mar-25	Apr-25
HT_285	HD_DC_CA	NA100	Actuals Qty	320	460	400	560	490	520	560
			Confirmed Qty
			Delivered Qty Adjusted	320	460	400	560	490	520	560
			Statistical Forecast Qty	300	375	350	500	400	400	450	361	361	361	361

There is no hard constraint preventing the Actuals Qty KF to be populated for future periods.

If there's data loaded for future periods it probably is coming from the source system(s) (S/4,ECC, etc).

Have a look at the data integration logs (Data Integration Jobs app), download the log and double check if data is indeed populated for future periods. If yes, it will be need to be solved in the source systems, or the integration will need to be adjusted as to only populate past periods.
