  Error Message
  WXP287: Enter a target version that is different to active version &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to activate or transport a workflow version in SAP and specify a target version that is the same as the currently active version. The system requires that the target version you want to activate or transport must be different from the active version to avoid redundant or conflicting operations.
  In other words, you are attempting to set or move a workflow version to a version number that is already active, which is not allowed.
  
  When Does This Happen?
  
  When you try to activate a workflow version but enter the same version number as the currently active one.
  When transporting workflow versions and specifying the target version.
  During workflow version management in transaction codes like SWDD (Workflow Builder) or SWI1 (Workflow Logs).
  
  
  Solution
  
  Specify a different target version number than the currently active version.
  Check the active version of the workflow before entering the target version.
  If you want to update the workflow, create a new version (increment the version number) and activate or transport that version.
  Use the workflow builder or version management tools to create and manage versions properly.
  
  
  How to Check Active Version
  
  Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder).
  Open the workflow and check the version information.
  Alternatively, use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to see workflow versions and their statuses.
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Workflow versions are used to manage changes and transport workflows between systems.
  Each workflow version has a unique version number.
  Activating a workflow version makes it the active one that will be executed.
  Transporting workflow versions requires specifying source and target versions carefully.
  This error helps prevent overwriting or confusion by ensuring that the target version is always different from the active one.
