"Initial column cannot be generated" error when creating a planning book

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an error when creating a planning book with the planning book wizard. In the tab "data view", I enter values for the "Visible" and "Input" fields and validate. The following error is generated: "Initial column cannot be generated" and then "Maintain the time for the 'column visible from' field". I tried with different dates, and get the same error.

I am running SCM 5.0.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Regards,

Mikael.

Hi,

Generally these error come when we manually enter the value in the Visible and Input column. Instead we should try select value from the Drill down options which gets generated based on the Time Bucket Profile you have selected as input for Planning Horizon.

Thanks Deepak. The issue is now solved. My time bucket profiles were not created correctly.
