  Cause:

  Go to the transaction where you manage planning versions (e.g., /SAPAPO/MVM1 for creating versions or /SAPAPO/MVM2 for changing versions).
  Verify the deletion date of the planning version you are trying to delete.
  Check the deletion date of the model associated with that planning version.
  
  
  
  Adjust Deletion Dates:
  
  If the planning version's deletion date is indeed later than the model's, you will need to either:

  Change the deletion date of the model to be later than the planning version's deletion date, if that aligns with your business process.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete the Planning Version:
  
  After adjusting the dates accordingly, attempt to delete the planning version again.
