  Use a Different Planning Version: If you are using a specific planning version, try switching to another version that may have updated data.
  
  
  Unlock Data: If data is locked, check for any active processes or users that may be holding locks on the data. You may need to wait for those processes to complete or contact the relevant users.
  
  
  Reprocess Data: If you believe there should be changes, try reprocessing the data or running the planning function again after making sure that the data has been updated.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the planning area and time series settings to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes checking the key figures and planning levels.
