  The SAP error message CRM_MKTPL_CGPL201 indicates that a marketing plan or a related object is in a "locked" status, which prevents any changes from being made to it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) when a marketing plan is being processed or has been finalized, and the system is designed to prevent modifications to ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
