How To Fix WXP567 - Unregistered type &1 periodicity (fiscal year variant &2)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

• Message number: 567

• Message text: Unregistered type &1 periodicity (fiscal year variant &2)

What causes this issue?

You want to use the BW system to procure actual data. To do this, each
periodicity used in the planning scenario must be identified as being a
valid periodicity when using info cubes.
This is not applicable for period category &V1& (for period category P:
with fiscal year variant &V2&).

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Go to maintenance for BW-specific settings at scenario level and
compare the planning scenario fields using the <PF>Compare scenario
fields</> function. This automatically registers the periodicities that
are used if at least one planning step for the relevant periodicity is
to supplied with data from an info cube.
You must configure your system to enable actual data from a info cube
to be used. To do this, go to <ZH>Basic Settings</> for the planning
step in question.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP567 - Unregistered type &1 periodicity (fiscal year variant &2) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP567 Unregistered type &1 periodicity (fiscal year variant &2)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the system encountered a periodicity type (period type) that is not registered or defined for the specified fiscal year variant. In SAP, fiscal year variants define how the fiscal year is structured, including the number and type of posting periods and special periods.
  
  &1 = The unregistered periodicity type (e.g., "01" for monthly, "02" for quarterly, etc.)
  &2 = The fiscal year variant in which this periodicity type is missing or not defined.
  
  This usually happens when a custom or non-standard periodicity type is used in a process (such as posting, reporting, or period-end closing), but the fiscal year variant does not have this periodicity type configured.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Custom fiscal year variants missing certain period types.
  Using a periodicity type in a report or transaction that is not supported by the fiscal year variant.
  Configuration inconsistencies after system upgrades or transport imports.
  Incorrect or incomplete fiscal year variant setup.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check the Fiscal Year Variant Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OB29 (Maintain Fiscal Year Variant).
  Select the fiscal year variant &2.
  Verify the periodicity types defined for this fiscal year variant.
  Ensure that the periodicity type &1 is registered/defined.
  
  
  
  Register the Missing Periodicity Type:
  
  If the periodicity type &1 is missing, add it to the fiscal year variant.
  Define the number of posting periods and special periods for this periodicity type.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Verify the Usage Context:
  
  Identify where the periodicity type &1 is being used.
  If it is an incorrect or unintended usage, correct the transaction or report to use a valid periodicity type.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made in a development system, transport them to quality and production systems.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes or SAP Support:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be related to specific SAP Notes or patches.
  Search SAP Support Portal for WXP567 and your SAP version for any relevant notes.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant (OB29): Defines the fiscal year structure, including the number of posting periods and special periods.
  Periodicity Type: Refers to the type of period grouping, e.g., monthly, quarterly, yearly.
  Posting Period Variant (OB52): Controls the open/close status of posting periods but is different from fiscal year variant.
  This message is a warning (WXP), so it may not stop processing but indicates a configuration issue that could lead to incorrect period handling.
