• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FCOM_PLANNING_CORE - Messages for Package FCOM_PLANNING_CORE

• Message number: 043

• Message text: Some records to be planned have already been planned with quantities

What causes this issue?

Some of the records you are trying to plan have been planned before with
quantities (in particular with a unit of measure that is not space). Now
you are trying to plan them without quantities. This is not supported by
the SAP system.

System Response

The response depends on the situation:
When you or the system tries to distribute values from the fiscal year
to fiscal periods, this fails because the reference data cannot be
found.
The system does not allow you to save some of your planning data.

How to fix this error?

When executing primary planning, do not mix planning with and without
quantities, for example, planning layouts or BI-IP planning queries:
Planning layouts when using classical ERP CO planning
BI-IP planning queries when using BI-IP front-ends such as BEx Analyzer
Web dynpro application configurations containing analytical UIBBs
containing BI-IP planning queries without quantities when using
renovated ERP CO Planning

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
