• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP456 - Enter values for the selected planning level only ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP456: "Enter values for the selected planning level only":
  
  Error Message:
  WXP456 - Enter values for the selected planning level only
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP Planning applications (such as SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP BW Integrated Planning) when you try to enter or maintain data for characteristics or planning levels that are not part of the currently selected planning level.
  In other words, the system expects you to input data only for the planning level that has been selected. If you enter values for other planning levels or characteristics that are outside the scope of the selected planning level, the system issues this warning.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Planning levels define the granularity or aggregation level at which planning data is maintained.
  When you select a particular planning level, the system restricts data entry to that level to ensure consistency and avoid data conflicts.
  Entering data for other levels can cause inconsistencies or overwrite data at different aggregation levels.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Planning Level Selected:
  
  Verify which planning level is currently selected in your planning application or planning sequence.
  Make sure you are entering data only for the characteristics or key figures that belong to this planning level.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Entry:
  
  Remove or correct any entries that belong to other planning levels.
  Enter data only for the characteristics defined in the selected planning level.
  
  
  
  Change Planning Level if Needed:
  
  If you need to enter data for a different planning level, change the planning level selection accordingly before entering data.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Level Configuration:
  
  If you believe the planning level setup is incorrect or incomplete, check the configuration in the planning area or planning sequence.
  Ensure that the planning levels are properly defined and assigned to the relevant characteristics.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (WXP456), not an error, so it may allow you to continue but advises you to correct the data entry.
  It helps maintain data integrity by preventing data entry at inappropriate aggregation levels.
  Common in SAP BW-IP (Integrated Planning) and SAP BPC environments.
  If you are using planning sequences or planning functions, ensure that the planning level context is correctly passed and maintained.
