Dear Chinmay Kulkarni,

You get this message due to note 531274. It is an info-message stating that you can not save data in the past, because the past in the planning book is not ready for input. If you do not intend to change data in the past, then everything is okay.

You can avoid the message if you simply define your dataviews in a way that only horizons which are really updated are used. SAP always recommend to created separate planning books / data views for batch processing. If you need the historical horizon in order to read data for the macro execution you are able to define the historical horizon as ready for input. In this case the message will not occur. Certainly the behaviour you are observing does not represent an error. The message is just informational und is raised correctly.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Tibor
