  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXPB226 - All data cells are locked -> you do not need to lock the total ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message: WXPB226 - All data cells are locked -> you do not need to lock the total


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in SAP Planning or BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) when you try to lock the total cell in a planning grid or input form, but all the underlying data cells are already locked.

    • In planning applications, locking is used to prevent users from changing certain data.
    • If all the detailed data cells (the components that make up the total) are locked, locking the total (aggregate) cell is redundant and not allowed.
    • The system prevents locking the total because it is derived from the underlying data cells, and locking the total when all components are locked does not make sense.

    Solution:

    • Do not lock the total cell if all underlying data cells are locked.
    • Instead, review the locking strategy:
      • Unlock some of the detailed data cells if you want to lock the total.
      • Or simply leave the total unlocked if all details are locked.
    • Check the locking profile or rules in your planning application to ensure that locking is applied correctly.
    • If you want to lock totals, ensure that at least some underlying data cells remain unlocked.

    Related Information:

    • This message is common in SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) or SAP BW-IP (Business Warehouse Integrated Planning) environments.
    • Locking is used to control data entry and maintain data integrity during planning cycles.
    • Locking totals when all details are locked is logically inconsistent because totals are calculated fields.
    • Refer to SAP Note or documentation on locking strategies in planning applications for best practices.
    • In SAP BPC, locking can be managed via Process Chains, Data Manager Packages, or Input Schedules.
    • If you encounter this message frequently, review your locking design and consider whether locking totals is necessary or if locking details suffices.

    If you need help with specific steps to adjust locking in your system, please provide details about your SAP module (BPC, BW-IP, etc.) and version.
