  Error Message
  WXP210: Assign a planning periodicity to planning step &1
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs in SAP when you are working with Planning Steps in the Planning Book (often in SAP APO or SAP BW Integrated Planning). The system expects that each planning step has an associated planning periodicity defined.
  
  Planning Step: A planning step represents a phase or stage in the planning process (e.g., monthly planning, weekly planning).
  Planning Periodicity: Defines the time interval (e.g., day, week, month) that the planning step covers.
  
  If a planning step does not have a planning periodicity assigned, the system cannot correctly interpret the time intervals for planning data, leading to this warning.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you create or modify a planning step in the planning book or planning sequence.
  When you try to execute planning functions or planning sequences that require a defined periodicity.
  During configuration or maintenance of planning steps in transaction /SAPAPO/SDP94 or similar.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this warning, you need to assign a planning periodicity to the planning step:
  
  
  Go to the Planning Book or Planning Step maintenance:
  
  Transaction: /SAPAPO/SDP94 (Planning Book maintenance)
  Or via the SAP APO GUI: Logistics ? Supply Chain Planning ? Demand Planning / Supply Network Planning ? Planning Book
  
  
  
  Select the relevant Planning Book and Planning Step:
  
  Find the planning step &1 (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual planning step name in the message).
  
  
  
  Assign a Planning Periodicity:
  
  In the planning step settings, there is a field for Planning Periodicity.
  Choose the appropriate periodicity (e.g., Day, Week, Month, Quarter) that matches your planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Save the changes.
  
  
  Re-run the planning function or process to verify that the warning no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Planning periodicity is crucial because it defines the granularity of planning data aggregation and disaggregation.
  Without a periodicity, the system cannot correctly map planning data to time buckets.
  This message is a warning (WXP), so it may not stop processing but indicates a configuration issue that can lead to incorrect planning results.
  Always ensure that the periodicity assigned matches the business process and the time buckets used in the planning book.
