WXP253 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP253 Planning scenario &1 is not yet active
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you try to use or access a planning scenario in SAP that has been created but not yet activated. In SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), planning scenarios need to be activated before they can be used for planning runs, simulations, or data processing.
  The planning scenario is essentially a container for planning objects, key figures, and planning views. Until it is activated, the system treats it as incomplete or inactive, hence it cannot be used in planning processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to activate the planning scenario. The activation process validates the scenario and makes it available for planning activities.
  Steps to activate a planning scenario:
  
  
  Go to the Planning Scenario Maintenance:
  
  In SAP APO, use transaction /SAPAPO/SCENARIO or navigate via the SAP menu
