  SAP Error Message:
  WXP131 Formula group &1 has not yet been created for planning step &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP Planning (often in SAP BW Integrated Planning or SAP BPC) when you try to execute or activate a planning step, but the required formula group for that planning step has not been created or assigned yet.
  
  Formula group: A collection of formulas (calculation rules) that are used during the execution of a planning step.
  Planning step: A defined step in the planning process that can include data entry, calculations, and data transfer.
  
  The system expects that for each planning step, a corresponding formula group is created and assigned so that the system knows which formulas to execute during that step.
  
  Cause:
  
  The formula group for the specified planning step (&2) does not exist.
  The formula group (&1) has not been created or assigned to the planning step.
  Possibly, the planning step was created but the formulas or formula group were not maintained.
  The planning step is being executed or activated without the necessary formula group setup.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Formula Group:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing where formula groups are maintained (e.g., in SAP BW Integrated Planning, use transaction RSPLAN or the relevant planning area maintenance).
  Create a formula group with the name indicated by &1.
  
  
  
  Assign the Formula Group to the Planning Step:
  
  In the planning step maintenance, assign the newly created formula group to the planning step &2.
  This links the formulas to the planning step so that they are executed when the step runs.
  
  
  
  Maintain Formulas:
  
  Ensure that the formula group contains the necessary formulas for calculations or data processing.
  Activate the formulas if required.
  
  
  
  Re-execute the Planning Step:
  
  After the formula group is created and assigned, try to execute or activate the planning step again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (WXP131), so it may not stop the process but indicates that no formulas will be executed during the planning step.
  If formulas are essential for your planning logic, ignoring this warning will result in incomplete or incorrect planning results.
  Check the planning area and planning step configuration thoroughly.
  Refer to SAP documentation on Integrated Planning or Planning Steps and Formula Groups for detailed steps on creating and assigning formula groups.
