  Error Message
  WXP268: Enter a plan version that is different from "000"
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the system expects a plan version other than the standard or default version "000". In SAP, plan versions are used to differentiate between various planning scenarios or sets of data (e.g., different budgeting versions, forecast versions, or planning cycles).
  
  The plan version "000" typically represents the actual data or the default version.
  Certain transactions, reports, or planning functions require you to specify a planning version that is different from "000" to avoid confusion between actual and planned data.
  If you enter "000" in a field where a planning version is required, the system throws this error to enforce the use of a valid planning version.
  
  
  When Does It Occur?
  
  During planning activities in modules like Controlling (CO), Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), or Product Cost Planning (CO-PC).
  When entering or selecting a plan version in reports or planning transactions.
  When the system logic requires a plan version to distinguish planned data from actual data.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Enter a valid plan version other than "000" in the relevant field.
  
  
  If you do not have any plan versions created yet, you need to create a plan version in the system.
  How to create a plan version:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing or master data maintenance transaction (e.g., in CO-PA or Cost Center Planning).
  Create a new plan version with a unique identifier (e.g., "001", "A1", etc.).
  Use this plan version in your planning or reporting transaction instead of "000".
  
  
  
  Check the documentation or configuration for the specific module you are working in to understand which plan versions are valid and how they are maintained.
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Plan Versions are essential for separating actual data from planned or forecast data.
  Using plan versions allows you to perform simulations, what-if analyses, and compare different planning scenarios.
  The error message is a safeguard to prevent overwriting or mixing actual data with planned data.
  If you are unsure which plan versions exist, you can check them in the relevant customizing or master data tables.
  In some cases, the system might default to "000" if no plan version is specified, so always explicitly specify a plan version when required.
