  Error Message:
  W5087 - Retrospective adoption of planned services not possible
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP when you attempt to retrospectively adopt (i.e., assign or link) planned services to a service confirmation or service order after the service has already been confirmed or processed. 
  In other words, the system does not allow you to add or adopt planned services after the service confirmation has been created or the service has been performed because the planned services are meant to be adopted before the confirmation.

  Planned services are services that are planned and scheduled in a service order.
  Retrospective adoption means trying to add or link these planned services after the service confirmation has been posted.
