  SAP Error Message: WXP018
  Text: You do not have change authorization for planning in version &
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to make changes to a planning version in SAP (typically in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation or SAP BW Planning) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. The system checks the user's authorizations against the planning version, and if the user lacks the required change rights, this message is triggered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Planning Versions in SAP are used to separate different sets of planning data (e.g., actuals, forecasts, budgets).
  Each planning version can have specific authorizations assigned.
  The authorization check is usually based on authorization objects like S_RS_COMP (Authorization for InfoProvider) or specific planning-related authorization objects.
  If the user has only display or read access but tries to perform a change operation, the system blocks the action and issues WXP018.
