  The SAP error message H1736 ("Planned, submitted or approved records detected for &1 &2 &3") typically occurs in the context of project management or resource planning within SAP. This error indicates that there are existing records in the system that are either planned, submitted, or approved, which are preventing the user from performing a certain action (like deleting or modifying a record).
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Existing Records: There are existing planned, submitted, or approved records associated with the object (e.g., project, task, or resource) you are trying to modify or delete.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that changes do not disrupt the workflow or project management processes. If there are dependencies or linked records, the system will prevent changes to maintain consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Review the records associated with the object in question. You can use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items) to check for any planned, submitted, or approved records.

  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  If the records are part of an ongoing process, consult with project managers or relevant stakeholders to understand the implications of modifying or deleting these records.
