  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP087 - No characteristic can be entered for characteristic planning in layout &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WXP087 No characteristic can be entered for characteristic planning in layout &2


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs in the context of Classification and Characteristic Planning in SAP, typically when working with variant configuration or classification layouts.

    • The message indicates that no characteristic is available or allowed to be entered in the current layout for characteristic planning.
    • This usually happens because the layout assigned to the characteristic planning does not contain any characteristics, or the characteristics are not assigned properly.
    • It can also occur if the characteristics are not assigned to the class or the class is not assigned to the material or object.
    • Another reason might be that the layout is not maintained or activated for the particular planning scenario.

    Solution:

    To resolve this issue, you should:

    1. Check the Layout Configuration:

      • Go to transaction CL24N (Change Class) or CL20N (Create Class) and verify the layout assigned to the class.
      • Ensure that the layout contains the relevant characteristics for planning.
      • Use transaction CL30N to maintain the layout and add the necessary characteristics.
    2. Assign Characteristics to the Class:

      • Verify that the characteristics you want to plan are assigned to the class.
      • If missing, assign the required characteristics to the class.
    3. Check Class Assignment to Material/Object:

      • Ensure that the class is assigned to the material or object for which characteristic planning is being done.
      • Use transaction MM01/MM02 for materials or relevant transactions for other objects.
    4. Activate the Layout:

      • Make sure the layout is active and valid for the planning process.
      • Sometimes, inactive or incomplete layouts cause this message.
    5. Review Variant Configuration Setup (if applicable):

      • If this is related to variant configuration, check the configuration profile and ensure that the characteristics are correctly maintained and assigned.
