• Message text: Hierarchy table &2 for plan scenario &1 still exists

What causes this issue?

You want to delete planning scenario &V1& from the database. Hierarchy
table &V2& still exists for this scenario - the table still contains
data (for hierarchy version &V3&).

System Response

Planning scenario &V1& is deleted.

How to fix this error?

Hierarchy table &V2& is a database table generated by the system and it
is automatically deleted when network maintenance is used. If you have
processed planning scenario &V1& using other maintenance dialogs, its
automatism cannot be guaranteed. Inform your system administrator about
the existence of table &V2& and send a copy of this message to the
administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

Try to delete the content of table &V2& using the SAP Data Dictionary.
The data that remains in table &V2& may mean that you cannot activate
any future planning scenarios.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP141 - Hierarchy table &2 for plan scenario &1 still exists ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP141: Hierarchy table &2 for plan scenario &1 still exists
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to delete or reset a plan scenario in SAP, but the associated hierarchy table for that plan scenario still exists in the system. Essentially, the system detects that the hierarchy data linked to the plan scenario has not been removed or cleared yet.
  
  &1 = Plan scenario ID  
  &2 = Name of the hierarchy table related to the plan scenario
  
  The hierarchy table contains structural data (e.g., organizational or planning hierarchies) used in planning scenarios. If this table still exists, it means the plan scenario cannot be fully deleted or reset because dependent data remains.
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  You attempt to delete or reset a planning scenario in SAP (e.g., in SAP BW or SAP BPC planning).
  The system checks for dependent data.
  It finds that the hierarchy table for the scenario still exists.
  It issues this warning to prevent incomplete deletion or inconsistent data.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the Hierarchy Table:
  
  Identify the hierarchy table name from the message (&2).
  Verify if the table still contains data related to the plan scenario.
  
  
  
  Delete or Clear the Hierarchy Table:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction or program to delete the hierarchy data.
  For example, in SAP BW or BPC, you might use planning functions or administration tools to delete hierarchies.
  Alternatively, if you have direct database access and authorization, you can clear the table manually (not recommended unless you are sure).
  
  
  
  Use SAP Standard Transactions:
  
  In SAP BPC, use the "Delete Plan Scenario" or "Reset Plan Scenario" functions carefully.
  Make sure all dependent data, including hierarchies, are deleted first.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Active Users:
  
  Sometimes, the hierarchy table cannot be deleted because it is locked or in use.
  Ensure no active sessions or processes are using the plan scenario.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this message.
  Sometimes patches or updates fix related problems.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (WXP141), not an error, so it may allow you to continue but indicates potential data inconsistency.
  Hierarchy tables are critical for planning scenarios as they define the structure of planning data.
  Always back up data before deleting or resetting plan scenarios.
  If unsure, consult your SAP BW/BPC administrator or SAP support.
