  Error Message
  WXPB801: Planning level &1 has been assigned several meanings
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs in SAP when a planning level in the Production Planning (PP) or Product Cost Planning (PCP) module is assigned multiple meanings or purposes simultaneously. 
  In SAP, a planning level is used to define the granularity or level at which planning data is maintained or processed (e.g., plant, storage location, production line). Each planning level should have a unique and clear meaning to avoid ambiguity in planning processes.
  If the same planning level is assigned to different meanings (for example, both as a production line and as a storage location), the system raises this warning because it can lead to inconsistent or incorrect planning results.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During configuration of planning levels in transaction OPPQ (Maintain Planning Levels).
  When assigning planning levels to different organizational units or planning objects.
  During data validation or planning run if the system detects conflicting assignments.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Planning Level Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OPPQ (or the relevant IMG path: Production -> Production Planning -> Master Data -> Work Scheduling -> Define Planning Levels).
  Review the planning level &1 mentioned in the message.
  Verify the meanings assigned to this planning level.
  
  
  
  Correct the Assignments:
  
  Ensure that each planning level is assigned only one meaning.
  If multiple meanings are assigned, decide which meaning is correct or intended.
  Remove or reassign the incorrect or conflicting meanings.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  After correction, perform a consistency check or test planning run to ensure the warning no longer appears.
  Make sure that all related master data and planning objects align with the corrected planning level meaning.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made in a development or test system, transport the corrected configuration to production.
