How To Fix WXP563 - Unit field &2 for key figure field &1 is not assigned to infocube field

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

• Message number: 563

• Message text: Unit field &2 for key figure field &1 is not assigned to infocube field

What causes this issue?

You are using key figure field &V1& in your planning scenario. The unit
field and curreny field &V2& has, however, been entered with
parenthesis.
You have also assigned an info cube field to the key figure field. This
therefore signals to the system that you want to use the actual data
contained in your info cubes for your planning.
This assignment was not made for the unit field and currency field.
This therfore means that no currency or unit conversion is possible.
You must assign an info cube field to the relevant unit field and
currency field if your key figure fields have been assigned info cube
fields.

How to fix this error?

GO to maintenance for BW-specific settings at planning scenario level
and assign an info cube field to key figure field &V1&.

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 WXP563 - Unit field &2 for key figure field &1 is not assigned to infocube field ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP563 Unit field &2 for key figure field &1 is not assigned to infocube field
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a key figure (a measure) that is supposed to have an associated unit of measure is missing the assignment of its unit field in the InfoCube definition.
  In other words, the key figure field (e.g., a quantity or amount) expects a corresponding unit field (e.g., currency, unit of measure) to be assigned in the InfoCube, but this assignment is missing or incorrect.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP BW InfoCubes, key figures that represent quantities or amounts often require a unit of measure field to provide context (e.g., currency for amounts, pieces for quantities).
  The key figure field (e.g., SALES_AMOUNT) should have a corresponding unit field (e.g., CURRENCY) assigned.
  If the unit field is not assigned or incorrectly assigned, the system raises this warning to indicate that the key figure's unit field is missing in the InfoCube definition.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the InfoCube definition:
  
  Go to the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the Key Figures tab.
  Select the key figure mentioned in the error message (&1).
  Check if the Unit field (&2) is assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Assign the Unit Field:
  
  If the unit field is not assigned, assign the correct unit characteristic (e.g., 0CURRENCY for currency, or a unit characteristic like 0UNIT).
  Save and activate the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Check the DataSource and Transformation:
  
  Ensure that the unit field is also correctly mapped in the DataSource and transformation to the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the data:
  
  After correcting the assignment, reload or reprocess the data to ensure the key figure and unit field are correctly linked.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (WXP563), not an error, so it may not stop processing but indicates a potential data inconsistency.
  Proper assignment of unit fields is important for correct reporting and aggregation in BW.
  Common unit fields include:
  
  0CURRENCY for monetary values.
  0UNIT or custom unit characteristics for quantities.
  
  
  If the key figure does not require a unit, ensure that no unit field is assigned or expected.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
