SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

• Message number: 007

• Message text: The planning hierarchy version must be clear

What causes this issue?

You are using plan versions in manual planning to which different
<DS:DE.WISP_PLHVS>planning hierarchy versions</> have been assigned.
You can only plan or compare plan versions within a planning session if
they use the same planning hierarchy version.
The planning hierarchy defined the frame for all the characteristic
combinations that are still to be planned. Within a planning session, a
part quantity of this characteristic combination is being processed.
Different versions of the planning hierarchy can contain completely
different characteristic combinations and they cannot therefore be used
together in a planning session.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Only use plan versions that have been assigned the same planning
hierarchy version.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP007 - The planning hierarchy version must be clear ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP007: "The planning hierarchy version must be clear":
  
  Error Message:
  WXP007 - The planning hierarchy version must be clear
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you are working with planning hierarchies in the context of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP BW Integrated Planning (BW-IP), and the system cannot determine a unique or valid planning hierarchy version to use.
  Specifically, the error means:
  
  The system expects a single, clearly defined planning hierarchy version to be specified or selected.
  However, either no version has been specified, or multiple versions are selected or active, causing ambiguity.
  This can happen during planning sequences, data entry, or when executing planning functions that require a specific hierarchy version.
  It may also occur if the planning hierarchy version is not maintained or activated properly in the system.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When executing planning functions or data entry screens that require a planning hierarchy version.
  When the planning hierarchy version is missing or not assigned in the planning area or planning function.
  When multiple versions exist but the system cannot determine which one to use.
  When the planning hierarchy version is not maintained in the customizing or master data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Single Planning Hierarchy Version:
  
  Ensure that the planning hierarchy version is clearly defined and assigned in the planning function or planning area.
  In the planning function or data entry screen, explicitly select or enter the correct planning hierarchy version.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Hierarchy Versions in Customizing:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., in BW-IP or BPC) and verify that the planning hierarchy versions are properly maintained.
  Make sure that only one active version is assigned or that the correct version is selected.
  
  
  
  Activate the Planning Hierarchy Version:
  
  If the planning hierarchy version exists but is inactive, activate it.
  In BPC, check the hierarchy version status and activate if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Area and Planning Function Settings:
  
  Verify that the planning area or planning function is configured to use the correct planning hierarchy version.
  Adjust the settings to ensure the system can identify a unique version.
  
  
  
  Clear or Reset Selection:
  
  If multiple versions are selected by mistake, clear the selection and choose only one version.
  
  
  
  Check for Master Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the master data related to planning hierarchies is consistent and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Planning Hierarchy Version is a concept used to manage different versions of organizational or planning hierarchies, allowing for scenario planning or version control.
  In SAP BPC, planning hierarchies are often used to structure data entry and reporting.
  In SAP BW-IP, planning hierarchies are used to navigate and aggregate planning data.
  Proper maintenance and activation of planning hierarchy versions are crucial for smooth planning operations.
  If you are unsure about the correct version, consult your system administrator or SAP consultant responsible for planning configuration.
