  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC_INB105 Key Figure &1 Color &2
  
  1. Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically within the Demand Planning (DP) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) modules when working with key figures and their color coding in planning books or data views.
  
  The message indicates that there is an inconsistency or problem related to the color assignment of a key figure.
  The placeholders &1 and &2 represent:
  
  &1: The name or technical ID of the key figure.
  &2: The color code or color name assigned to that key figure.
  
  
  The error arises when the system cannot recognize or properly handle the color assigned to the key figure. This could be due to:
  
  An invalid or unsupported color code.
  A missing color definition in the planning book or frontend.
  Corruption or misconfiguration in the planning book settings.
  Issues in the frontend (e.g., Excel frontend or Web UI) where the color mapping is not properly maintained.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Planning Book Settings:

  Verify the color assignments for the key figure &1.
  Ensure that the color &2 is a valid color code supported by the system.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Remove Color Coding:
  
  If the color code is invalid or not needed, remove or correct the color assignment.
  You can do this in the planning book maintenance transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDP94 for Demand Planning).
  
  
  
  Verify Frontend Compatibility:
  
  If you are using Excel frontend or Web UI, ensure that the frontend supports the color codes used.
  Sometimes, frontend updates or patches may affect color rendering.
