  The SAP error message CBP005, which states "Planning in progress," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module or similar planning functionalities. This message indicates that a planning process is currently running, and as a result, the system is unable to execute the requested action until the ongoing planning process is completed.

  Review Planning Area Settings: Check the configuration of the planning area to ensure that it allows for concurrent planning processes if that is desired.
