How To Fix WXP557 - Version field &1 is not assigned to any infocube fields


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

  • Message number: 557

  • Message text: Version field &1 is not assigned to any infocube fields

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You require version field &V1& for your planning scenario. Version
    field &V1& must be assigned to infocube field &V2&. No entries
    currently exist for this, however, in the list of infocube field
    assignments.

    How to fix this error?

    Go to maintenance for BW-specific settings at the planning level for
    scenarios. Check if an info cube has been assigned to all storage
    periodicities. If info cubes have been assigned to all periodicities,
    but no list of available cube fields exist, generate a list using the
    <PF>Cube Info</> function.
    Refresh the scenario fields by selecting <PF>Refresh</>. Version fields
    are assigned automatically if field &V2& exists in all the info cubes
    you have used in your planning.

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

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP557 - Version field &1 is not assigned to any infocube fields ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WXP557 Version field &1 is not assigned to any infocube fields


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a version field defined in a query or transformation is not linked or assigned to any field in the underlying InfoCube. In other words, the system expects a version characteristic (like 0VERSION) to be mapped to a corresponding InfoCube field, but it finds none.

    Common scenarios causing this error:

    • The InfoCube does not contain the version characteristic (e.g., 0VERSION).
    • The version characteristic exists in the InfoCube but is not assigned or mapped properly in the query or transformation.
    • The query or transformation is referencing a version field that is not part of the InfoCube's structure.
    • Inconsistent or missing assignment in the transformation or query definition.

    Solution:

    1. Check InfoCube Structure:

      • Verify that the InfoCube contains the version characteristic (usually 0VERSION).
      • If the version characteristic is missing, add it to the InfoCube and activate the cube.
    2. Check Query Definition:

      • Open the query in Query Designer.
      • Ensure that the version characteristic is included in the query structure.
      • If the query uses a version field, make sure it is assigned to the corresponding InfoCube field.
    3. Check Transformation Mapping:

      • If the error occurs during data load or transformation, check the transformation rules.
      • Ensure that the version field in the source is mapped to the version characteristic in the target InfoCube.
      • If the version field is not needed, remove it from the transformation or query.
    4. Adjust or Remove Version Field:

      • If the version field is not relevant for your scenario, remove it from the query or transformation.
      • Alternatively, assign it properly to the InfoCube field.
    5. Re-activate Objects:

      • After making changes, activate the InfoCube, transformations, and queries to ensure consistency.

    Related Information:

    • Version Characteristic (0VERSION):
      Used in SAP BW to differentiate data versions, e.g., for planning or simulation scenarios.

    • InfoCube:
      A multidimensional data storage object in SAP BW that stores data for reporting and analysis.

    • Query Designer:
      Tool used to create and maintain queries on InfoProviders like InfoCubes.

    • Transformation:
      Defines how data is mapped and transformed from source to target during data load.

    • SAP Notes and Documentation:
      Check SAP Notes related to WXP557 for any specific patches or updates.


    Summary:

    The error WXP557 Version field &1 is not assigned to any infocube fields indicates a mismatch or missing assignment of the version characteristic between the query/transformation and the InfoCube. To fix it, ensure the version field is present and properly assigned in the InfoCube and query/transformation definitions. If not needed, remove the version field reference.


    If you provide more context (e.g., when the error occurs: during query execution, data load, or transformation), I can give more targeted advice.
