What causes this issue?

You want to change the "budget distribution of annual values" indicator
in a program definition.
However, this is no longer possible, since program positions already
exist
from which budget distribution should be carried out (the "budget
distribution" indicator is set in the master record of the program
position) and
for which subordinate measures already exist

indicator now could lead to inconsistencies.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AP183 - You can no longer make changes ?

  The SAP error message AP183 ("You can no longer make changes") typically occurs when you attempt to modify a document or record that has already been finalized or posted in the system. This error is common in various SAP modules, including Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO), and it indicates that the document is in a status that does not allow further changes.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the document. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Use Reversal or Adjustment: If you need to correct an error in a posted document, consider using a reversal or adjustment document instead of trying to change the original document.
