How To Fix UPC_FW086 - Values of variables were deleted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UPC_FW - Messages for Planning Framework, Areas, Levels and Packages

• Message number: 086

• Message text: Values of variables were deleted

What causes this issue?

For the current variable, you have changed one of the key properties -
the characteristic, the replacement type, the hierarchy, or other ones.
As a rule this leads to variable values, which have already been
defined, not matching the current settings. If, for example, you
convert the replacement type from "user-specific values" to "fixed
values", all selection conditions are deleted for individual users, as
according to the new replacement type, you can no longer differentiate
by users.

System Response

Variable values which are already defined are deleted.

How to fix this error?

Proceed as follows:
Enter new variable values for the changed settings.
If you reverse the changes and want to return to the old settings, then
end the planning session without saving. Though here you lose all
changes which you have made during the planning session
