  Error Message
  WXP205: Assign key figures to planning step &1
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) during planning activities when you try to execute or save a planning sequence or planning function, but no key figures have been assigned to the specified planning step.
  
  Planning Step: A planning step is a part of a planning sequence that defines which key figures are planned or updated.
  If the planning step does not have any key figures assigned, the system cannot perform any planning operations on it, hence the warning.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you create or execute a planning sequence or planning function in SAP BW Integrated Planning (BW-IP).
  Specifically, if the planning step referenced in the sequence has no key figures assigned.
  It can also appear during the configuration of planning sequences or when running planning functions in transaction RSPLAN or during process chain execution involving planning.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this warning, you need to assign one or more key figures to the planning step mentioned in the message.
  Steps to assign key figures to a planning step:
  
  
  Go to the Planning Sequence Maintenance:
  
  Transaction: RSPLAN
  Or navigate via SAP BW Modeling Tools or BW GUI to the planning sequence.
  
  
  
  Select the Planning Sequence and the Planning Step:
  
  Open the planning sequence that contains the step &1 (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual planning step name in the message).
  
  
  
  Assign Key Figures:
  
  In the planning step details, assign the relevant key figures that you want to plan or update.
  You can assign multiple key figures depending on your planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Save the Planning Sequence:
  
  After assigning the key figures, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Re-execute the Planning Sequence or Planning Function:
  
  The warning should no longer appear as the planning step now has key figures assigned.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Planning Steps and Key Figures:
  
  Planning steps define the scope of planning activities.
  Key figures are the numeric data elements that are planned (e.g., sales quantity, revenue).
  Without key figures, a planning step has no data to process.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Function:
  
  Sometimes the issue might be in the planning function linked to the planning step.
  Ensure that the planning function is correctly configured and references the correct key figures.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Differences:
  
  If you transport planning sequences between systems, verify that key figures are assigned in the target system as well.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP BW Integrated Planning documentation for detailed steps on planning sequence and planning step configuration.
  SAP Notes related to planning sequences and key figure assignments may provide additional troubleshooting tips.
