• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP009 - Plan version & was not assigned to a planning hierarchy version ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP009 - Plan version & was not assigned to a planning hierarchy version
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to use or reference a plan version in a planning function or process, but the system finds that this plan version is not assigned to any planning hierarchy version. In SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), plan versions must be linked to a planning hierarchy version to ensure that the data aggregation and disaggregation are correctly handled according to the defined planning hierarchies.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Plan Version: Represents a specific version of planning data (e.g., forecast, demand plan).
  Planning Hierarchy Version: Defines the structure of the planning hierarchy (e.g., product-location hierarchy) used for aggregation and disaggregation.
  The system requires that each plan version be assigned to a planning hierarchy version so that it knows how to interpret and roll up the data.
  
  If this assignment is missing, the system cannot process the plan version correctly, hence the warning.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign the Plan Version to a Planning Hierarchy Version:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing node where plan versions are maintained.
  Assign the relevant planning hierarchy version to the plan version in question.
  In SAP APO, this is typically done in the IMG under:
  SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) -> Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Demand Planning -> Planning Versions -> Assign Planning Hierarchy Version to Plan Version
  
  In SAP IBP, ensure that the plan version is linked to the correct planning hierarchy version in the configuration or master data setup.
  
  
  
  Check the Planning Hierarchy Version:
  
  Verify that the planning hierarchy version exists and is active.
  Ensure that the hierarchy version covers the relevant planning objects (products, locations, etc.).
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  After assignment, run consistency checks or planning functions again to confirm the warning is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This warning does not necessarily stop processing but indicates a configuration issue that can lead to incorrect planning results.
  Always ensure that for every plan version used in planning runs, a corresponding planning hierarchy version is assigned.
  If you have multiple plan versions, each can be assigned to different planning hierarchy versions depending on the planning scenario.
  In some cases, this message can appear if you have recently created a new plan version but forgot to assign it to a hierarchy version.
