What causes this issue?

You have entered CO version &V1& as the target version.
Costed values cannot be copied to CO version &V1&. As the system only
records the costed values in CO version &V1&, the original values might
be overwritten if copying were allowed.

System Response

The system does not copy the following values to &V1&;
Planned costs from the network costing
Planned costs from orders for projects (exception: planned costs from
CO internal orders)
Planned revenues from billing plans for the WBS element or sales orders
assigned to the project

If the system is to copy the costed values too, you must specify a
different CO version as the target version.
