• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GM052 - No activity type planning carried out for &/& ?

  The SAP error message GM052 ("No activity type planning carried out for &/&") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with Activity-Based Costing (ABC) or when planning costs related to activity types in a project or cost center.
  Cause:
  The error message GM052 indicates that there is no planning data available for the specified activity type in the specified controlling area and fiscal year. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  No Planning Data Exists: The activity type has not been planned for the specified period.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the activity type or the controlling area may not be set up correctly.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or plan the activity type.
  Incorrect Period: The planning period may not be open for the specified fiscal year.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GM052 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Planning Data:
  
  Go to the planning transaction (e.g., KP06 for cost centers) and check if there is any planning data for the specified activity type in the controlling area and fiscal year.
  If no data exists, you will need to create a planning entry for that activity type.
  
  
  
  Create Planning Entries:
  
  If planning data is missing, you can enter the planning data using the appropriate planning transaction (e.g., KP06 for cost centers or KP26 for activity types).
  Ensure that you enter the correct controlling area, fiscal year, and activity type.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the activity type in the controlling area. Ensure that the activity type is correctly defined and that planning is enabled.
  You can check this in the configuration settings under SPRO > Controlling > Cost Center Accounting > Activity Types > Define Activity Types.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and plan the activity type. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Verify Period Status:
  
  Check if the planning period is open for the specified fiscal year. You can do this in the transaction code OKP1 (Maintain Planning Versions) or by checking the period status in the controlling area.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further assistance.
