How To Fix UPP_PP_K039 - Selection to time characteristic is not restricted -> see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UPP_PP_K - Messages for Planning Processor Core

• Message number: 039

• Message text: Selection to time characteristic is not restricted -> see long text

What causes this issue?

Package '&V1&' contains no restriction for time characteristic '&V2&'
in the selection. Furthermore, you have selected the option 'from
possible characteristic combinations' in planning layout '&V3&', in the
group field 'Characteristic relationships'. In this mode, the master
data must possibly be read for the time characteristic. However, time
characteristics do not have a master data table, the values are
generated by the system. Since the selection was not restricted, the
system would be forced to generate an endless hit list.

System Response

Planning package '&V1&' cannot be used with planning layout '&V3&'.

How to fix this error?

Define a restriction for the selection for the time characteristics in
planning package '&V1&' (or in the higher-level planning levels). In
planning layout '&V3&', you can also select the option 'from
transaction data' in the group field.
You can find further information regarding the settings in the group
field 'Characteristic combinations' here:
