Problems with lab exercise SPM Implementation course

[mikaelstenm]

I'm working on the lab SPM Financials configurations Lab 2.1 where I'm stuck on the Story - STRY020102
As a theme park manager, I want the labor costs to be automatically broken down
by the values of an attribute called Cost Category, which is selected in the resource
assignment.

When trying to set the Active-property on the newly created attribute Cost Category on the Planning attributes function. I get a errormessage "This planning attribute cannot be made active. Please provide valid column configurations using the column config related list". See screendump below.

WHY?

Hi @mikaelstenm ,

This Error generally comes due to some mapping would be missing.

So, First understand how to edit planning attributes:

There were mappings missing. I actually did not chose which field to use in the lookup tables. After doing that It's working. Thanks for your help
