• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GM057 - Version & is not permitted for planning ?

  The SAP error message GM057 ("Version & is not permitted for planning") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Public Sector Management (PSM) or Budget Management modules when a user attempts to perform planning activities using a version that is not allowed for that specific planning scenario.
  Cause:
  
  Version Configuration: The version you are trying to use for planning may not be configured correctly in the system. This could be due to it being inactive or not set up for the specific planning type you are attempting to execute.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to use the specified version for planning.
  Planning Scenario Restrictions: Certain planning scenarios may restrict the use of specific versions, and the version you are trying to use may not be included in the allowed versions for that scenario.
  Version Status: The version might be in a status that does not allow planning (e.g., it could be marked as "locked" or "closed").
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Version Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for planning versions in SAP (transaction code OB58 or similar).
  Ensure that the version you are trying to use is active and configured for the relevant planning type.

  Validate Planning Scenario:
  
  Review the planning scenario settings to confirm that the version is included in the allowed versions for that scenario.
  
  
  
  Change Version Status:
