  The SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_RCA_SCO080 indicates that the status of a planning scope (identified by &1) has been set to "In Work." This typically means that the planning scope is currently being processed or modified, and certain actions cannot be performed until the status changes.
  Cause:
  
  Active Planning Process: The planning scope is currently being worked on by a user or a process, which prevents other users from making changes or executing certain functions.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a planning scope is locked by another user or process, you will encounter this error.
  Incomplete Processes: If a previous planning process was not completed or was interrupted, it may leave the planning scope in an "In Work" state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently working on the planning scope. You can check the user sessions in transaction SM04 or AL08.
  Wait for Completion: If another user is working on the planning scope, you may need to wait until they finish their work and release the lock.
  Release Locks: If you suspect that the planning scope is stuck in the "In Work" state due to an incomplete process, you may need to release the lock. This can be done using transaction SM12 to delete the lock entries associated with the planning scope.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context on why the planning scope is in this state.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM04 (User Overview), SM12 (Delete Locks), and SLG1 (Application Log).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to planning scopes and the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Integrated Business Planning, SAP S/4HANA).
