Problem Note 41348: Backend estimation (di_job_est) sets GEO_PROD.GEO_PROD_STATUS to > 100 (inactive statuses) for geo/prods not covered by jobs the model group scope
 |  |  |  |  |
When you attempt to add geo/prods to plans in the SAS® Revenue Optimization Suite (SAS® Markdown Optimization, SAS® Regular Price Optimization, and SAS® Promotion Optimization), you might notice that some geo/prods are unavailable for inclusion that you expected would be available. This issue can occur if the backend di_job_est job has been run with model group scope that does not cover all geo/prods in the GEO_PROD table (e.g. running only a subset of your model groups each week). The di_job_est job will update the GEO_PROD.GEO_PROD_STATUS field for non-covered geo_prods to an inactive status (a value > 100,) thereby making them unavailable for selection into plans.
There is no workaround for this issue.
