  Error Message
  WXP261: Source plan version &1 has not yet been created
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to execute a planning function or process that requires a source plan version which does not exist or has not been created yet in the system.
  In SAP Planning (such as in SAP Integrated Business Planning, SAP APO, or SAP BW Planning), plan versions are used to store different sets of planning data (e.g., versions for different scenarios, time periods, or planning cycles). The system expects a specific source plan version to be available to read data from or to perform calculations, but it cannot find it.
  Common causes include:
  
  The source plan version was never created or initialized.
  The plan version was deleted or archived.
  Incorrect plan version number or ID was entered in the planning function
