• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLPPM052 - Parts of the data are locked by BI planning process management ?

  The SAP error message RSPLPPM052 indicates that certain parts of the data are locked due to the BI Planning Process Management (PPM). This typically occurs when a planning process is currently running or has not been completed, preventing other users or processes from accessing or modifying the data.

  Solution:
