  Error Message
  WXPB002: Multiple use of plan versions in the selected area
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system detects that more than one plan version is being used simultaneously within the same planning area or planning segment where only a single plan version is allowed. In SAP, certain planning areas or processes require a unique plan version to avoid conflicts or inconsistencies in planning data.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Attempting to run planning or data processing steps where multiple plan versions overlap in the same planning area.
  Incorrect configuration or selection of plan versions in planning transactions.
  Data inconsistencies where plan versions are not properly segregated.
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), plan versions represent different sets or snapshots of planning data. For certain operations, the system expects a unique plan version per planning area to maintain data integrity and avoid ambiguity.
  If multiple plan versions are assigned or selected for the same planning area, the system cannot determine which version to use, leading to this error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Plan Version Assignments:
  
  Review the plan versions assigned to the planning area.
  Ensure that only one plan version is active or selected for the planning area in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  When running planning jobs or reports, verify the selection parameters.
  Make sure that the selection does not include multiple plan versions for the same planning area.
  
  
  
  Clean Up or Archive Old Plan Versions:
  
  If multiple plan versions exist due to historical data, consider archiving or deleting obsolete versions.
  This reduces confusion and prevents accidental multiple usage.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  Check the configuration of the planning area and version management.
  Ensure that the system settings enforce unique plan version usage where required.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address known issues related to plan version management.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WXPB002 or plan version conflicts.
