  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP431 - You can only paste at planning level & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WXP431 - You can only paste at planning level &


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP when you attempt to paste data into a planning table or planning layout at a level that is not a valid planning level. In SAP planning tools (such as SAP APO Demand Planning, Supply Network Planning, or other planning applications), data can only be pasted at specific hierarchical levels defined as "planning levels." If you try to paste data at a non-planning level (for example, a total or aggregated level that is not editable), the system raises this error.


    Explanation:

    • Planning Level: A level in the planning hierarchy where planning data can be entered or modified.
    • Non-Planning Level: Aggregated or summary levels where data is calculated or derived, and direct input is not allowed.

    The error message indicates that the paste operation is being attempted at a level that is not designated for planning input.


    Solution:

    1. Check the Level:
      Ensure that you are pasting data at a valid planning level. You can verify the planning levels in the planning layout or the planning book settings.

    2. Adjust the Selection:
      Before pasting, select the correct planning level row or cell where data input is allowed.

    3. Review Planning Book Settings:

      • Go to the planning book and check the hierarchy and planning levels defined.
      • Confirm which levels are set as planning levels.
      • If necessary, adjust the planning levels in the planning book configuration to allow input at the desired level.
    4. Use Correct Layout:
      Use a planning layout that supports data input at the level you want to paste.

    5. Consult Documentation:
      Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP APO planning configuration guides for details on planning levels.


    Related Information:

    • This message is common in SAP APO Demand Planning (DP), Supply Network Planning (SNP), and other planning modules.
    • Planning levels are defined in the planning book and are critical for data entry and planning consistency.
    • Attempting to paste data at aggregated levels (like total product group or total location) is not allowed because these are calculated fields.
    • If you need to input data at a higher level, consider adjusting the planning book or planning layout to include that level as a planning level.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Pasting data at a non-planning (non-input) level.
    • Solution: Paste only at valid planning levels; verify and adjust planning book and layout settings.
    • Related: Planning books, planning levels, SAP APO Demand Planning, SNP.

    If you need further assistance, please provide details about the specific SAP module and transaction you are using.
