When you create a purchase order plan in SAS^® Pack Optimization, and then create buys and deliveries, the stores that you have selected should be added to the deliveries. However, they are not. Stores are not added to the deliveries in either the manual and the imported plan cases. The problem occurs when Hot Fix D81011 has been applied.

There are no warning or error messages. However, you might notice that stores are not added to the deliveries that you expect.

NULL values in the store closing date field on the GEOGRAPHY_DM table prevent stores from being added to deliveries even though NULL is a valid value for that field. You can work around this issue by setting store closing dates to a future value. Example: set GEOGRAPHY_DM.CLOSING_DT to a date in the future, such as 31DEC2050.
