• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP267 - Enter the name for automatic planning ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP267 - Enter the name for automatic planning
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears in SAP when you are trying to execute an automatic planning run (such as in Production Planning or Repetitive Manufacturing) but have not specified a name for the automatic planning run. The system requires a unique identifier (name) for the planning run to track and manage the planning process.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, automatic planning runs (e.g., in repetitive manufacturing or production planning) need to be named so that the system can store and reference the planning results.
  The planning run name acts as an identifier for the planning session.
  If you leave the planning run name field empty, the system cannot proceed and issues this warning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  When prompted, enter a valid name for the automatic planning run.
  The name can be alphanumeric and should be unique enough to identify the planning run.
  After entering the name, proceed with the planning run.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The planning run name is used in transaction codes related to planning, such as MF50 (Planning Table for repetitive manufacturing) or other planning transactions.
  Naming conventions may be set by your organization to help identify runs by date, shift, or planner.
  If you are unsure what name to use, check with your production planning team or SAP administrator.
  This message is a warning (WXP267), so it prevents the planning run from starting until the name is entered.
