• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP402 - Enter a version of a planning hierarchy ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP402 - Enter a version of a planning hierarchy
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are working with planning hierarchies in SAP (typically in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation - BPC or SAP BW Integrated Planning) and you have not specified a version for the planning hierarchy. The system requires a version to identify which set of planning data or hierarchy structure you want to work with.
  In SAP planning scenarios, versions are used to differentiate between different sets of planning data, such as "Current Plan," "Forecast," "Budget," or "Actual." Without specifying a version, the system cannot determine which planning hierarchy version to use.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute a planning function, report, or hierarchy-related operation without entering or selecting a version.
  When the planning hierarchy is version-dependent and the version field is left blank.
  During data entry or planning activities in BPC or BW-IP where version is a mandatory selection criterion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter a valid version: When prompted, enter a valid version key that corresponds to the planning hierarchy version you want to use.
  Check available versions: Use transaction or selection help to find the available versions in your system. Versions are usually maintained in the planning area or in the version master data.
  Set default version: If applicable, configure a default version in your planning application or query to avoid this prompt.
  Verify planning hierarchy setup: Ensure that the planning hierarchy is correctly maintained and linked to the versions in your planning environment.
  Check authorization: Make sure you have authorization to access the specified version.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Planning Versions: Versions are key to managing multiple planning scenarios and what-if analyses.
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  In BW-IP, versions are maintained in the planning area maintenance (transaction RSPLAN or via BW Modeling Tools).  
  In BPC, versions are maintained in the BPC administration console.
  
  
  Hierarchy Maintenance: Planning hierarchies can be version-dependent, meaning each version can have a different hierarchy structure.
  SAP Notes: If the problem persists, check SAP Notes related to planning hierarchy and version issues for your specific SAP system version.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help Portal for your SAP planning product (BPC or BW-IP) for detailed instructions on managing versions and hierarchies.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: No version specified for the planning hierarchy.
  Solution: Enter/select a valid version for the planning hierarchy.
  Additional: Ensure versions and hierarchies are properly maintained and linked in your planning environment.
