  Check Open Dates: Verify the open dates of the planning period in the relevant planning area. Ensure that the dates for the structure element fall within this range.
  Adjust Structure Element Dates: If the structure element dates are incorrect, adjust them to fall within the open dates of the planning period.
  Review Planning Version Settings: Ensure that the planning version is correctly set up and that it is active for the required planning period.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring planning objects and versions.
