  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You are using database table &V1& in step &V2& of your planning
    scenario. Table &V1& is, however, already being used in step &V3& of
    planning scenario &V4&. A different storage periodicity is, however,
    stated for the table (for example, posting period <-> month).

    How to fix this error?

    If you want to enter actual data in this database tale using updating,
    you can only do this for one storage periodicity or fiscal year. You
    must then use the same periodicity in all planning steps for all
    (active) planning scenarions for database table &V1&.
    The above restriction does not apply if actual data is taken from a BW
    infocube (suitable plug-in required) or if no actual data is to be
    updated to the database table. You can ignore this error message.

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

    Cause
    This warning message occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA during planning activities when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the periodicity settings of a database table used in a planning scenario.
    
    Periodicity refers to the time granularity (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly) defined for the data in the database table.
    The planning scenario expects a certain periodicity for the data, but the actual database table has a different periodicity defined.
    This inconsistency can cause issues in planning functions, data aggregation, or data retrieval because the system cannot correctly interpret the time intervals.
    
    
    Typical Scenarios Leading to WXP543
    
    The database table was created or maintained with a different time characteristic or periodicity than what the planning scenario expects.
