This estimation failure occurs for model groups where all of the following is true:
- The model group has a SHARE demand model type.
- There is at least one noncomparable store (class_cd=20) and the same product in the like store is inactive.
- There is at least one new item (class_cd=13) with a like item defined or short item (class_cd=12) with a like item defined in the same model group.
This failure might also be generated during Model Analysis and Forecast Analysis runs.
The workaround for this issue is to change the value of the NON_COMP_STORE_PERIOD model specification to a smaller value to disable noncomparable store functionality for the model group that fails.
