  SAP Error Message:
  WXP424 Key figure &1 does not exist for planning step &2
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP Planning (such as in SAP BW Integrated Planning or SAP BW/4HANA Planning) when you try to use or reference a key figure in a planning step that has not been assigned or does not exist for that particular planning step.
  
  Key figure &1: The key figure you are trying to use.
  Planning step &2: The planning step in which the key figure is expected but not found.
  
  In SAP BW Integrated Planning, each planning step can have a specific set of key figures assigned to it. If you try to perform planning activities or calculations involving a key figure that is not assigned to the current planning step, the system raises this warning.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  You are executing a planning function or a planning sequence that references a key figure not assigned to the current planning step.
  You have created or modified planning steps but forgot to assign all necessary key figures.
  You are trying to input or display data for a key figure in a planning step where it is not available.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Assignment:
  
  Go to the Planning Area maintenance.
  Open the Planning Steps tab.
  Select the planning step &2 mentioned in the message.
  Verify if the key figure &1 is assigned to this planning step.
  
  
  
  Assign the Missing Key Figure:
  
  If the key figure is missing, assign it to the planning step.
  Save and activate the planning area.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Functions or Sequences:
  
  If the key figure should not be part of the planning step, adjust your planning functions or sequences to avoid referencing this key figure in that step.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations and Data Access:
  
  Sometimes, the key figure might exist but is not visible due to authorization or data access restrictions.
  
  
  
  Transport and Consistency:
  
  If you recently transported planning objects, ensure that the transport was successful and consistent.
