• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP051 - Some quantity key figures are not ready for input ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP051 - Some quantity key figures are not ready for input
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically appears in SAP when you are trying to enter or change data in a planning or data entry transaction (such as in SAP BW or SAP APO) and some of the quantity key figures (KFs) involved are not set up or configured to accept manual input. In other words, the system recognizes that certain key figures are either calculated, read-only, or otherwise not enabled for direct data entry, so it prevents you from entering values for those fields.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The key figure is defined as a calculated or restricted key figure.
  The key figure is set as "read-only" or "not ready for input" in the planning area or data entry profile.
  The key figure is missing the "Input Ready" flag in its configuration.
  The planning area or data entry layout does not allow input for certain key figures.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WXP051 warning, you need to ensure that the quantity key figures you want to input data for are configured to allow input. Steps include:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings:
  
  Go to the key figure maintenance (e.g., in SAP BW: transaction RSKP or in SAP APO: planning area maintenance).
  Verify that the key figure is not defined as a calculated or restricted key figure.
  Ensure the key figure is marked as "Input Ready" or "Ready for Input" in the planning area settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Area or Data Entry Profile:
  
  In SAP BW, check the planning area and data entry profile settings to confirm that the key figure is included and enabled for input.
  In SAP APO, check the planning book and data view settings to ensure the key figure is available and input-enabled.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, the user’s authorization profile may restrict input for certain key figures. Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Data Entry Transaction:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction or planning book that supports input for the key figures in question.
  
  
  
  Re-generate Planning Area or Planning Book:
  
  After making changes, regenerate the planning area or planning book to apply the new settings.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  SAP BW Planning:
  
  In SAP BW, key figures can be set as input-ready or not in the planning area maintenance. Calculated key figures cannot be input directly.
  
  
  SAP APO Planning:
  
  In SAP APO, the planning book and data view control which key figures are input-enabled. The planning area settings also influence this.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  RSKP - Maintain Planning Area (BW)  
  RSPLAN - Planning (BW)  
  APO Planning Book maintenance transactions (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDP94)
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to planning and key figure input for your specific SAP version for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  Summary:
  WXP051 warns that some quantity key figures are not ready for input because they are not configured to accept manual data entry. To fix this, verify and adjust the key figure and planning area settings to enable input, ensure correct authorizations, and use the appropriate planning tools.
