  Error Message
  WXP403: Enter a value for plan characteristic &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when you are working with planning functions or planning sequences in the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP BW Integrated Planning (BW-IP) environment. The system expects a value for a plan characteristic (a key figure or characteristic used in planning) but finds it missing or empty.
  In other words, when executing a planning function or sequence, the system requires that all mandatory plan characteristics have values assigned. If any required characteristic is left blank or not provided, the system throws this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During execution of planning functions or sequences in BW-IP.
  When entering data in planning layouts or input-ready queries.
  When running planning functions that require characteristic values for filtering or calculation.
  When a characteristic is marked as mandatory but no value is supplied.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Enter the missing value:
  
  Identify the plan characteristic mentioned in the error (the placeholder & will be replaced by the characteristic technical name or description).
  Provide a valid value for this characteristic in the planning function or input screen.
  
  
  
  Check the planning function or sequence:
  
  Review the planning function or sequence definition in transaction RSPLAN or RSPLS.
  Ensure that all mandatory plan characteristics are properly assigned values or default values.
  
  
  
  Check the input-ready query:
  
  If the error occurs during data entry, check the input-ready query in transaction RSRT or RSO2.
  Make sure that the characteristic is included in the query and is set as input-ready.
  Verify that the user has entered a value for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Check characteristic settings:
  
  In the InfoProvider or InfoCube, check if the characteristic is set as mandatory.
  If it is not necessary to have a value, consider changing the characteristic to optional (if business process allows).
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the cause is unclear, debugging the planning function or sequence can help identify where the missing value is expected.
