  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP742 Unexpected return code for FB WIS_PLAN_GET_IS_FIELDS (info structure &1)
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when the function module WIS_PLAN_GET_IS_FIELDS returns an unexpected return code during the execution of a Web Intelligence (WebI) report or query. The function module is part of the Business Intelligence (BI) or Business Warehouse (BW) integration and is used to retrieve information structure fields for planning or reporting purposes.
  Common causes include:
  
  Mismatch or inconsistency in InfoStructure metadata: The InfoStructure referenced by the report/query might be missing, deleted, or inconsistent.
  Authorization issues: The user executing the report may lack the necessary authorizations to access the InfoStructure or related data.
  System inconsistencies or transport issues: The InfoStructure or related objects might not be properly transported or activated in the system.
  Incorrect or outdated InfoStructure references: The report/query might be referencing an InfoStructure that no longer exists or has been changed.
  Technical issues in the function module call: Parameters passed to WIS_PLAN_GET_IS_FIELDS might be incorrect or incomplete.
  
  
  Solution / Troubleshooting Steps
  
  
  Check InfoStructure existence and consistency:
  
  Use transaction RSIS or RSA1 to verify that the InfoStructure referenced in the error message exists and is active.
  Check if the InfoStructure is consistent and not corrupted.
  
  
  
  Verify authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user running the report has the necessary authorizations for the InfoStructure and related BW objects.
  Check roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Check the report/query definition:
  
  Review the WebI report or query to confirm it references the correct InfoStructure.
  If the InfoStructure was changed or deleted, update the report/query accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check system logs and dumps:
  
  Look into transaction ST22 for any short dumps related to the function module.
  Check system logs (SM21) for related errors.
  
  
  
  Test the function module manually:
  
  Use transaction SE37 to test WIS_PLAN_GET_IS_FIELDS with the parameters used by the report.
  This can help identify if the function module itself is failing due to input parameters.
  
  
  
  Transport and activation:
  
  If the InfoStructure or related objects were recently transported, verify that the transport was successful and objects are activated.
