• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP425 - Enter a complete planning period ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP425 - Enter a complete planning period
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears in SAP when you are working with planning periods (e.g., in Demand Planning, Forecasting, or other planning-related transactions) and the system detects that the planning period you have entered is incomplete or not fully specified. Typically, this means that either the start or end date of the planning period is missing, or the period does not cover a full, valid range as expected by the system.
  For example, if you are entering a planning period for a forecast and you specify only a start date without an end date, or the period does not align with the expected calendar intervals (like fiscal periods, weeks, or months), SAP will issue this warning.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter both start and end dates: Make sure you specify a complete planning period by entering both the start and end dates.
  Use valid period intervals: Ensure that the planning period corresponds to valid calendar or fiscal periods as defined in your system (e.g., full months, weeks, or quarters).
  Check period format: Verify that the period format matches the expected format (e.g., YYYYMM for monthly periods).
  Review planning horizon settings: Sometimes, the planning horizon or period definitions in customizing (SPRO) might restrict the valid periods. Check and adjust if necessary.
  Use transaction-specific help: Some planning transactions provide F1 help or value help (F4) for entering periods correctly.
