    SAP Error Message:

    WPSOR014
    Text: Task list &1: (operation &4) activity type &2 not planned in given year


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to create or process a maintenance order or a confirmation, and the system finds that the activity type (&2) for the specified operation (&4) in the task list (&1) is not planned or valid for the fiscal year in which you are trying to post or plan it.

    In other words, the activity type used in the operation is not maintained or allowed for the year you are working in. This usually relates to the planning or budgeting of activity types for a specific fiscal year.


    Common Causes:

    • The activity type has not been maintained or extended for the fiscal year in question.
    • The fiscal year variant or controlling area settings do not include the activity type for the year.
    • The task list or operation references an activity type that is not valid or active for the year.
    • The controlling area or cost center planning is not updated for the new year.
    • The system is trying to post or plan costs for a year where the activity type is not defined.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check Activity Type Master Data:

      • Go to transaction KP26 (Change Activity Type Planning) or KP46 (Change Activity Type Planning for Cost Center).
      • Verify if the activity type (&2) is planned for the fiscal year you are working in.
      • If not, maintain the activity type for the required year.
    2. Maintain Activity Type for the Year:

      • Use transaction KP26 or KP46 to plan the activity type for the fiscal year.
      • Enter the controlling area, activity type, and fiscal year.
      • Maintain the planned quantities or values as required.
    3. Check Task List Validity:

      • Verify the task list (&1) and operation (&4) to ensure the activity type is correctly assigned.
      • Use transaction IA05 or IA06 to display or change the task list.
      • Ensure the task list is valid for the year.
    4. Check Fiscal Year Variant and Controlling Area Settings:

      • Ensure that the fiscal year variant assigned to the controlling area includes the year you are working in.
      • Check in transaction OKKP (Maintain Controlling Area) and OB29 (Fiscal Year Variant).
    5. Recreate or Update Task List:

      • If the task list is outdated or created for a previous year, consider creating a new task list valid for the current year.
    6. Check Cost Center and Activity Type Planning:

      • Ensure that cost centers and activity types are planned for the year.
      • Use KP06 (Change Cost Center Planning) to maintain cost center activity types.

    Additional Information:

    • This error is related to Controlling (CO) and Plant Maintenance (PM) integration.
    • Activity types are used to allocate costs in CO and are linked to operations in PM task lists.
    • Proper planning and maintenance of activity types per fiscal year are essential for cost planning and confirmation postings.
    • If you are working in a new fiscal year, always ensure that activity types are extended/planned for that year before processing orders or confirmations.
