Specify the project or a top WBS element of the project

What causes this issue?

You want to plan a subhierarchy for project &V3&.
In plan profile &V1& of project &V3&, the indicator for "Bottom-Up
Planning" is set.
If this indicator is set, the function "Total Up" is executed
automatically in the structure planning for costs and revenues each
time you save and check. The superior WBS element receives the total of
all plan values of the direct subordinate WBS element as the structure
plan value.
Note:
As you execute a structure planning for a subhierarchy, the plan values
are only totaled as far as the WBS element &V2& with which you accessed
the planning.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

The automatic totaling within the whole project or as far as
Top-WBS-Element is then guaranteed if you access the structure planning
with project definition &V3& or a Top-WBS-Element of the Project.

Procedure for System Administrators
