• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS_CR063 - Locked cells: characteristic '&1' (&2) is not restricted ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS_CR063 indicates that there are locked cells in a planning function where a characteristic is not restricted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) when working with planning models or queries.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A planning function is trying to execute, but it encounters a characteristic that is locked (i.e., it cannot be modified) and is not restricted in the context of the planning function.
  The characteristic in question is expected to have a restriction (filter) applied to it, but it does not, leading to a conflict with the locked status.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Planning Function:
  
  Review the planning function that is causing the error. Ensure that all required characteristics are properly restricted.
  If the characteristic mentioned in the error message is not needed for the planning function, consider removing it from the function.
  
  
  
  Modify the Planning Sequence:
  
  If the characteristic is necessary, ensure that it is included in the planning sequence with the appropriate restrictions.
  
  
  
  Unlock the Cells:
  
  If the characteristic should not be locked, check the settings in the planning model or the data model to see if you can unlock the cells for that characteristic.
  
  
  
  Review the Data Model:
  
  Ensure that the data model is correctly set up and that the characteristics are defined as expected. Sometimes, issues can arise from incorrect data model configurations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the planning function and characteristics involved.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the planning function again to ensure that the error is resolved.
