• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP036 - Enter a planning layout ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP036 - Enter a planning layout
  
  Cause:
  This message appears in SAP when you are trying to execute a planning function or planning transaction (such as in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP BW Integrated Planning) without specifying a planning layout. A planning layout defines the structure and format of the planning screen, including which key figures, characteristics, and input-ready fields are displayed.
  In other words, the system requires a planning layout to know how to present the planning data to the user. If no layout is entered or selected, the system cannot proceed and throws this warning/error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you open a planning function or planning transaction and the planning layout is not pre-assigned or not selected.
  When the planning layout is missing or incorrectly assigned in the planning function.
  When the user tries to execute planning without specifying the layout parameter.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a Planning Layout:
  
  When prompted, select or enter a valid planning layout.
  If you do not know which layout to use, check with your planning administrator or refer to the documentation for the planning function.
  
  
  
  Assign a Default Planning Layout:
  
  In the planning function configuration (transaction RSPLAN or via BW Modeling Tools), assign a default planning layout so that users do not have to enter it manually every time.
  This can be done by maintaining the planning function and specifying the default layout in the planning function attributes.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Layout Availability:
  
  Verify that the planning layout exists and is active.
  Use transaction RSPLS (Planning Layout Maintenance) to check or create planning layouts.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has authorization to access the planning layout.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Planning Layout (RSPLS): Defines the input-ready fields, key figures, and characteristics for planning.
  Planning Function (RSPLAN): The function that executes planning logic and requires a layout to display data.
  SAP BW Integrated Planning: This error is common in BW-IP scenarios.
  SAP BPC: Similar concepts apply; layouts are required for input forms.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: No planning layout entered or assigned.
  Solution: Enter/select a valid planning layout or assign a default layout to the planning function.
  Check: Planning layout existence, assignment, and user authorization.
