  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP221 - Enter a storage currency for planning scenario &1 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP221: "Enter a storage currency for planning scenario &1":


    Error Message

    WXP221: Enter a storage currency for planning scenario &1


    Cause

    This warning message occurs in SAP when you are working with planning scenarios in the Product Cost Planning (PCP) or Cost Object Controlling (CO-PC) modules, particularly during the setup or execution of planning activities involving currencies.

    The system expects a storage currency to be defined for the planning scenario identified by &1 (which will be replaced by the actual scenario name or ID). The storage currency is the currency in which the planned costs or prices are stored and managed internally.

    If the storage currency is not maintained or missing in the configuration of the planning scenario, the system cannot proceed with planning calculations or data storage, hence it issues this warning.


    When does it occur?

    • During the creation or modification of a planning scenario.
    • When executing planning runs or simulations that require currency information.
    • When the planning scenario configuration is incomplete or inconsistent.
    • Possibly during data transfer or integration steps where currency data is mandatory.

    Solution

    To resolve this warning, you need to maintain the storage currency for the planning scenario. Here are the steps:

    1. Identify the Planning Scenario:

      • Note the scenario ID or name from the message (&1).
    2. Maintain Storage Currency:

      • Go to the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide) or the relevant customizing transaction for planning scenarios.
      • The customizing path is typically:
        Controlling (CO) -> Product Cost Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Planning -> Define Planning Scenarios
      • Alternatively, use transaction codes like:
        • OKP1 (Maintain Planning Scenarios)
        • Or check the scenario in the relevant planning transaction.
    3. Set the Storage Currency:

      • In the planning scenario settings, enter the appropriate storage currency.
      • The storage currency should be consistent with your company’s currency policy or the currency used for cost planning.
    4. Save and Re-run:

      • Save the changes.
      • Re-execute the planning process or transaction that triggered the warning.

    Additional Information

    • Storage Currency is different from the transaction currency or local currency; it is the currency in which the system stores planned values internally.
    • If multiple currencies are used in your system (e.g., local currency, group currency, hard currency), ensure that the storage currency aligns with your reporting and planning requirements.
    • This warning is informational and may not stop processing, but it is important to maintain the storage currency to avoid inconsistencies or errors in cost planning.
    • If you are unsure which currency to use, consult your controlling or finance team.

    Summary
