• Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

• Message number: 263

• Message text: Data in planning hierarchy table &1 has been deleted

What causes this issue?

You have changed or enhanced the assignment of planning levels. As a
result, (hierarchy) table &V1& must be re-generated to save
proportional factors from the planning hierarchy. Proportional factors
have already been created in this table and they have to be deleted in
order for the system to be activated.

System Response

The planning scenario could not be activated.

How to fix this error?

Re-activate the planning scenario so that the hierarchy tables can be
re-generated.

Procedure for System Administrators

The hierarchy tables in Merchandise & Assortment Controlling are
generated DDIC tables that can be processed, with limitations, using
the Data Dictionary. If it is not possible to activate the planning
scenario despite having deleted proportional factors, it is also
possible to delete existing entry in the relevant hierarchy table &V1&
or the entire table using the data dictionary.
