GP620 - Details

• The SAP error message GP620, which states "You cannot copy data within the same plan version," typically occurs in the context of SAP's planning and budgeting functionalities, particularly when using the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) modules.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to copy planning data (such as budget figures, forecasts, etc.) within the same version of a planning model. In SAP, each planning version is designed to hold distinct sets of data, and copying data within the same version can lead to data integrity issues. The system prevents this action to maintain the integrity of the planning data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Use a Different Plan Version: Instead of copying data within the same version, create a new plan version where you can copy the data. This allows you to maintain the original data intact while working
