    SAP Error Message:

    WXP680 Interface &1 cannot be used for planning step &2


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs in SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), specifically in the context of Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning when working with planning interfaces and planning steps.

    • The message indicates that the planning interface (denoted by &1) is not allowed or not configured to be used with the specified planning step (denoted by &2).
    • Each planning interface in SAP APO is assigned to certain planning steps. If you try to use an interface in a planning step where it is not assigned or allowed, this warning appears.
    • This can happen if:
      • The planning interface is not assigned to the planning step in the configuration.
      • The planning step is not active or not properly maintained.
      • There is a mismatch between the interface and the planning step in the planning profile or planning book.

    Solution:

    To resolve this warning, you need to ensure that the planning interface is correctly assigned to the planning step:

    1. Check Planning Interface Assignment:

      • Go to transaction /SAPAPO/OM17 (Maintain Planning Interfaces).
      • Verify the planning interface (&1) and check which planning steps it is assigned to.
      • If the planning step (&2) is missing, assign the planning step to the interface.
    2. Check Planning Step Configuration:

      • Go to transaction /SAPAPO/OM16 (Maintain Planning Steps).
      • Verify that the planning step (&2) is active and correctly configured.
    3. Check Planning Profile and Planning Book:

      • Ensure that the planning profile used in the planning book includes the correct planning step.
      • Check the planning book and data view settings to confirm that the interface and planning step are compatible.
    4. Transport and Consistency:

      • If changes were recently made in a development system, ensure they are transported correctly to the production system.
      • Check for consistency in customizing between systems.
    5. Re-run Planning:

      • After making the necessary assignments, re-run the planning process.
