  Duplicate Planning: The error indicates that the system has detected an attempt to plan a combination of elements (e.g., a specific WBS element or activity) that has already been planned in the system.

  Consult with Team: If you are unsure about the existing plans, consult with your project team or the person responsible for project planning to understand the current status.
  Transaction Lock: If the error is due to a lock, wait for the transaction to complete or check with your SAP administrator to see if the lock can be released.
