This error indicates that the system requires a recalculation of the data before any changes can be saved.
  Cause:
  
  Data Changes: The error usually arises when there have been changes made to the planning data (like changes in demand, supply, or capacity) that require a recalculation to ensure that all dependent data is consistent and up-to-date.
  Incomplete Planning Run: If a planning run was interrupted or not completed, the system may not have the latest calculations available.

  Review Logs: If the recalculation fails or does not resolve the issue, check the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on what is causing the issue.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to the planning book or transaction you are using.
