  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Data Locking: The record you are trying to change is currently locked by another user or process. SAP has a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the change on the specified record.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to certain records or under certain conditions.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check if the record is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked the record.
  
  
  Review the Procedure: Ensure that you are using the correct procedure for changing the record. Refer to the documentation or consult with your SAP functional team to confirm that the procedure is appropriate for single record changes.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the change. You may need to contact your SAP security team to ensure your user role has the required permissions.
