• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPX123 - Assign only planning areas with the same BW to the multi-planning area ?

  The SAP error message UPX123, which states "Assign only planning areas with the same BW to the multi-planning area," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when you are trying to assign planning areas to a multi-planning area that do not share the same underlying BW system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to assign planning areas from different BW systems to a multi-planning area. In SAP BW, a multi-planning area is a collection of planning areas that allows for integrated planning across different areas. However, all planning areas included in a multi-planning area must originate from the same BW system to ensure data consistency and integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that all planning areas you are trying to assign to the multi-planning area are from the same BW system. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Planning Areas: Verify the BW system associated with each planning area you want to include in the multi-planning area. You can do this by checking the properties of each planning area in the SAP system.
  
  
  Reassign Planning Areas: If you find that some planning areas belong to a different BW system, you will need to either:
  
  Remove those planning areas from your selection.
  Create a new multi-planning area that includes only the planning areas from the same BW system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to multi-planning areas and planning areas to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  System Configuration: If you believe that the planning areas should be compatible, check the system configuration and settings to ensure that they are correctly set up to allow for the intended assignments.
