'Generate Mappings' or AI-functionality for emission factor mapping not working in SAP SFM

[ErikGouw]

Hello all & @NicoWottke 

After the smooth SAP demo on AI functionality in SFM last week I'm trying out the new functionality called 'Generate Mappings' in SAP SFM to automatically map Emission Factors to Products. Unfortunately this is not working and I'm getting an error message that I'm not able to solve.  

I think I have created proper Products to be matched with entries from a file with Emissions factors, but I get the message 'No emission factor found. Maintain an emission factor in the Manage Emission Factors app and import again.'

The emissions factors seem fine:

And when I choose the option 'Assign manually' and then 'Map manually' in the 'Manage Purchased Product Footprints' it does propose the correct:

Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong and what could cause this error? 

Thanks for any help & kind regards,

Erik

Hi @ErikGouw,

thanks for raising this! The reason for this error is that this emission factor is only valid for Soda Ash from Italy, currently we only accept Global/ Rest of World datasets for master data (with no country assigned). We are however currently working on changing this behavior. Pls. feel free to also raise a support ticket, then you will also be informed once this is changed.

Best, Nico

Thanks as always @NicoWottke for the quick answer. Yes now I see this indeed and we have managed to get this working on our system. I now also see the codes that can be used for this.
