  The SAP error message RSM091 indicates that there is an open planning request in the specified InfoCube, which is preventing certain operations from being completed. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a process that requires the InfoCube to be free of any open planning requests.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  There is an active planning request that has not been completed or has not been processed correctly.
  The InfoCube is locked due to an ongoing planning session or request.
  There may be a transaction that is still in progress, which is preventing further actions on the InfoCube.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM091 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Planning Requests:
  
  Go to the transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Navigate to the InfoProvider (InfoCube) in question.
  Check for any active planning requests that are still open.
  
  
  
  Close or Delete Open Requests:
  
  If you find any open planning requests, you can either complete them or delete them if they are no longer needed.
  Use transaction code RSPC to check for any process chains that might be running and causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction RSMO:
  
  You can also use transaction RSMO to manage and monitor planning requests. This transaction allows you to see the status of requests and take necessary actions.
