  WXP520 - No season/season year combination assigned in scenario
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail (specifically in the Fashion Management or Merchandise Planning components) when the system cannot find a valid season and season year combination assigned to a particular planning or assortment scenario. The scenario requires a defined season and season year to process planning data, but this assignment is missing or incorrect.
  In other words, the system expects that for the given scenario (e.g., assortment planning, merchandise planning), a valid season (like Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) and a corresponding season year (e.g., 2023, 2024) must be assigned. If this assignment is not maintained, the system throws the WXP520 error.
