This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a planning operation (like a planning run or a heuristic) using a planning version that is not properly defined or is not descriptive enough for the system to process.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Descriptive Planning Version: The planning version you are trying to use is either not defined correctly or is set up in a way that does not meet the requirements of the planning process.
  Version Configuration: The planning version may not have the necessary characteristics or key figures defined, making it non-descriptive.

  Use a Descriptive Version:
  
  If you have access to other planning versions that are descriptive, try using one of those instead.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the planning run has the necessary authorizations to access the planning version. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
