  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP429 - Select a level for the breakdown list <= & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WXP429 - Select a level for the breakdown list <= &


    Cause:

    This warning message appears in SAP when you are working with reports or lists that involve hierarchical breakdowns or drill-downs (for example, in SAP BW or SAP Logistics Information System). The system expects you to specify a valid level for the breakdown list, but the level you have selected or entered is either missing, invalid, or exceeds the allowed maximum level.

    The placeholder & in the message usually gets replaced by the maximum allowed level number or a related parameter.

    In other words:
    You are required to select a breakdown level that is less than or equal to a certain maximum level, but the input does not meet this condition.


    When does it occur?

    • When running reports that allow hierarchical drill-downs or breakdowns.
    • When specifying the level of detail for a breakdown list.
    • When the input level is out of range or not specified.

    Solution:

    1. Check the breakdown level input:
      Ensure that the level you select or enter for the breakdown list is within the allowed range. Usually, this means selecting a level number less than or equal to the maximum level indicated by the system.

    2. Adjust the selection criteria:
      If you are entering the level manually, verify the maximum level allowed and enter a valid number.

    3. Use the selection help (F4):
      Use the F4 help or dropdown to select a valid level rather than entering it manually to avoid invalid entries.

    4. Review the report or query settings:
      If the error persists, check the configuration of the report or query to understand the maximum breakdown levels defined.

    5. Consult documentation or system admin:
      If unsure about the maximum levels or how to select them, consult the SAP documentation for the specific report or module or contact your SAP administrator.


    Related Information:

    • This message is a warning (WXP), so it may not stop the process but indicates that the input needs correction.
    • Common in modules like SAP BW, Logistics Information System (LIS), or any reporting tool that supports hierarchical data breakdown.
    • The breakdown level corresponds to the depth of detail in the report (e.g., level 1 = summary, level 2 = more detailed, etc.).
    • If you are customizing or developing reports, ensure that the breakdown levels are properly defined in the data source or query.

    Example:

    If the maximum allowed breakdown level is 3, and you enter 4, the system will show:
    Select a level for the breakdown list <= 3

    You should then enter 3 or less.
