• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS423 - Step &1: Used planning function &3 is no longer current ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS423 indicates that a planning function used in a planning sequence is no longer current. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when a planning function has been modified or deleted, and the planning sequence is still referencing it.
  Cause:
  
  Modification of Planning Function: The planning function referenced in the planning sequence has been changed or deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the planning function was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  Versioning: The planning function may have been deactivated or replaced with a new version that is not linked to the planning sequence.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Function: Verify if the planning function referenced in the error message still exists and is active. You can do this by navigating to the planning function in the SAP BW system.
  Update Planning Sequence: If the planning function has been modified or replaced, update the planning sequence to reference the current planning function. This can be done in the planning sequence maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction code RSPLSE).
  Recreate Planning Function: If the planning function has been deleted and is required, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
  Transport Check: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects have been transported correctly and are available in the target system.
  Test Planning Sequence: After making the necessary changes, test the planning sequence to ensure that it runs without errors.
