  SAP Error Message:
  WXP220 Plan data also exists for version &1: the data will also be deleted
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you attempt to delete or change planning data for a particular version in SAP, and the system detects that plan data already exists for that version. The message informs you that the plan data for the specified version (represented by &1) will also be deleted as part of the operation.
  Typically, this occurs in the context of SAP Planning functions such as:
  
  Cost center planning
  Profit center planning
  Activity planning
  Other planning versions in controlling (CO) or other modules
  
  The system warns you because deleting or changing the plan version will affect existing plan data, which might lead to loss of data if you proceed.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you delete a planning version that contains plan data.
  When you overwrite or reset plan data for a version.
  When you perform certain planning activities that implicitly delete or replace existing plan data.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle it:
  
  
  Review the plan data:
  
  Before proceeding, check the plan data for the version mentioned in the message. Make sure you want to delete or overwrite this data.
  
  
  Backup or export data (if needed):
  
  If the plan data is important, consider exporting or backing it up before deletion.
  
  
  Confirm the deletion:
  
  If you are sure that deleting the plan data is intended, you can proceed with the operation. The message is a warning, not an error, so confirming the action will allow the system to delete the plan data.
  
  
  Use correct transaction or function:
  
  Ensure you are using the appropriate SAP transaction or planning function to delete or change plan versions. For example:
  
  Transaction KP06 (Cost center planning)
  Transaction KP26 (Activity type planning)
  Transaction KPF6 (Delete plan data)
  Or other relevant planning transactions
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Make sure you have the necessary authorizations to delete or modify plan data.

  Versions are used to differentiate between different sets of plan data (e.g., original plan, revised plan, forecast). Each version can have its own set of plan data.
