• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >0615 - Modifiable fields were hidden ?

  The SAP error message "0615 Modifiable fields were hidden" typically occurs in the context of SAP transactions where certain fields that are expected to be modifiable are not visible or accessible for editing. This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), or others, depending on the specific transaction being used.
  Cause:
  
  Field Status Group Settings: The field status group assigned to the transaction or document type may have been configured to hide certain fields. This is often done to enforce data integrity or to streamline the user interface.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or edit certain fields. This can be due to role-based access controls set up in the SAP system.
  Screen Variants: Custom screen variants may have been created that hide specific fields for certain users or roles.
  Transaction Configuration: The configuration of the transaction itself may dictate that certain fields are not modifiable based on the business process or workflow.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Status Group: Review the field status group settings in the configuration (transaction code OBC4) to ensure that the fields in question are set to be modifiable for the relevant transaction.
  Review User Authorizations: Check the user roles and authorizations (transaction code PFCG) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access and modify the fields.
  Screen Variants: If screen variants are being used, check if there are any variants applied that hide the fields. You can do this by going to the transaction and checking the screen variant settings.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If the issue persists, consult with the SAP configuration team to review the transaction settings and ensure that they align with business requirements.
  Debugging: If you have access, you can also debug the transaction to see if there are any specific conditions or logic that are causing the fields to be hidden.
