This error is often related to the planning process, where the system detects that the plan has been modified after it was generated, leading to inconsistencies.

  Re-run the Planning Process: The simplest solution is to re-run the planning process after ensuring that no other changes are being made to the planning data.
  Check for Concurrent Processes: Ensure that no other planning runs are being executed at the same time. If they are, coordinate the timing of these processes.
  Review Changes: Investigate what changes were made to the planning data. If necessary, revert any unintended changes before re-running the planning process.
  Locking Mechanism: Implement a locking mechanism to prevent changes during the planning run, if applicable.
  Monitoring and Alerts: Set up monitoring and alerts for changes in planning data to avoid unexpected modifications during critical planning processes.
