  Error Message
  WXP293 - Define the storage periodicity
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system requires a definition of the storage periodicity for a particular data storage or data collection process, but it has not been maintained or configured yet.
  In SAP, storage periodicity refers to the time interval or frequency at which data is stored or aggregated in the system. For example, in data archiving, data collection, or data aggregation processes, the system needs to know how often data should be stored (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
  If this periodicity is not defined, the system cannot proceed with the data storage or processing step, hence the error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During configuration or execution of data collection or data archiving jobs.
  When setting up or running processes related to data storage in modules like SAP BW, SAP PM, or other modules that use periodic data storage.
  When customizing or maintaining data archiving objects or data collection parameters.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error WXP293, you need to define the storage periodicity in the relevant customizing or configuration area.
  Steps to define storage periodicity:
  
  
  Access the relevant customizing transaction:
  
  For example, in SAP PM (Plant Maintenance), you might use transaction IP01 or related customizing paths.
  In SAP BW or data archiving, use the relevant IMG path or transaction for data archiving object maintenance.
  
  
  
  Navigate to the storage periodicity settings:
  
  This is usually found under the data archiving or data collection customizing.
  IMG path example:
  
  Logistics ? Plant Maintenance ? Preventive Maintenance ? Maintenance Plans ? Define Storage Periodicity
  
  
  
  Define or maintain the storage periodicity:
  
  Enter the required periodicity values (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
  Save the entries.
  
  
  
  Re-run the process or job:
  
  After defining the storage periodicity, retry the operation that caused the error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Storage periodicity is critical for scheduling and managing data storage efficiently.
  Incorrect or missing periodicity can lead to incomplete data storage or system errors.
  Always ensure that the periodicity aligns with business requirements and system performance considerations.
  If unsure about the correct periodicity, consult with your functional consultant or SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with.
