  SAP Error Message:
  WPLG006: Planning data request ID & must contain planning characteristic &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during planning or data request processing in SAP (often in modules like SAP APO or BW planning functions) when a planning data request is missing a required planning characteristic. The system expects that the planning data request ID (a unique identifier for a planning request) includes certain mandatory planning characteristics (key fields or dimensions) to correctly process the data.
  In other words, the planning data request you are trying to execute or process does not include one or more characteristics that are mandatory for the planning function or data model.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Planning Data Request ID: This is an identifier for a specific planning data request.
  Planning Characteristic: These are key fields or dimensions (like Product, Location, Time, etc.) that must be part of the planning data request to ensure the data is correctly structured and meaningful.
  The system checks if the planning data request contains all required characteristics. If not, it throws this error.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When creating or executing a planning data request, the request definition is incomplete.
  The planning characteristic was not included in the selection or filter criteria.
  The planning model or data structure expects certain characteristics, but the request does not comply.
  Custom planning functions or reports that do not correctly handle mandatory characteristics.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Planning Data Request Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction or tool where the planning data request is defined.
  Verify that all mandatory planning characteristics are included in the request.
  Add any missing characteristics.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Model or Data Structure:
  
  Identify which characteristics are mandatory for the planning function or model.
  Ensure that the planning data request aligns with these requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  When executing the planning data request, make sure the selection criteria include all required characteristics.
  For example, if "Product" and "Location" are mandatory, ensure these are specified.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If custom planning functions or user exits are involved, verify that they handle characteristics correctly.
  Adjust the code to include mandatory characteristics.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation or Notes:
  
  Look for SAP Notes related to WPLG006 for any known issues or patches.
  Review the official SAP help portal for planning data request setup.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the module, you might use transactions like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for planning data requests in APO), or BW planning transactions.
  Planning Characteristics: These are often defined in the InfoProvider or planning model.
  SAP APO / BW Planning: This error is common in advanced planning scenarios where data requests must be precisely defined.
  SAP Notes: Search for WPLG006 in the SAP Support Portal for any updates or specific fixes.
