  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You are using database table &V1& in numerous planning steps in your
    planning scenario. Different storage periodicities (for example, month
    and posting period) have been entered for planning steps &V2& and &V3&.

    How to fix this error?

    If you want to enter actual data in this database table using updating,
    you can only do this for one storage periodicity or fiscal year
    variant. You must, however, use the same periodicity for all planning
    steps in database table &V1&.
    The above limitation is not valid if actual data is to be taken from a
    BW infocube (a suitable plug-in is required) or if no actual data can
    be entered in the database table. You can ignore the warning that
    appears.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
