• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG374 - Planning scope is already planned with a new snapshot revision. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VMP_MSG374: Planning scope is already planned with a new snapshot revision.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Variant Configuration (VC) during the planning process when you attempt to plan a scope (a set of characteristics or configuration data) that has already been planned and saved with a newer snapshot revision. Essentially, the system detects that the planning scope you are trying to work on is outdated because a more recent snapshot (version) of the planning data exists.
  
  Snapshot revision refers to a saved version of the planning data at a certain point in time.
  When a planning scope is planned and saved, a snapshot revision is created.
  If you try to plan again on an older snapshot or scope that has been superseded by a newer snapshot, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistencies or overwriting newer data.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During configuration or planning in SAP Variant Configuration (VC) or SAP Variant Management.
  When multiple users or processes are working on the same planning scope.
  When trying to re-plan or modify a scope that has already been updated and saved with a newer snapshot revision.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use the latest snapshot revision:
  
  Ensure you are working on the most recent planning snapshot.
  Retrieve or load the latest snapshot revision before making changes.
  
  
  
  Refresh or reload planning data:
  
  Refresh the planning scope data to synchronize with the latest snapshot.
  This can be done by reloading the planning scope or restarting the planning transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for concurrent planning sessions:
  
  Verify if another user or process has already planned and saved the scope.
  Coordinate to avoid simultaneous planning on the same scope.
  
  
  
  Delete or archive old snapshots (if applicable):
  
  If old snapshots are no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving them to avoid confusion.
  
  
  
  Consult system logs and transport requests:
  
  Sometimes, inconsistencies arise due to incomplete transports or system errors.
  Check for any system inconsistencies or errors related to snapshot management.
