for example).
This error can occur if you try to change an order using its GUID, for
example.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APO_BAPI070 - Order of type &1 cannot be changed using this interface ?

  The SAP error message APO_BAPI070 indicates that an order of a specific type (denoted by &1) cannot be changed using the interface you are trying to use. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when attempting to modify an order through a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) that does not support changes for that particular order type.
  Causes:
  
  Order Type Restrictions: The order type you are trying to modify may have restrictions that prevent it from being changed through the specific BAPI you are using.
  Incorrect BAPI Usage: The BAPI you are using may not be designed to handle changes for the order type in question.
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed, closed, or in a locked state).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to certain order types.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Order Type: Verify the order type you are trying to change and ensure that it is supported by the BAPI you are using. Refer to the BAPI documentation to confirm compatibility.
  Use the Correct BAPI: If the BAPI you are using does not support changes for the order type, look for an alternative BAPI that does. For example, some BAPIs are specifically designed for creating or changing certain types of orders.
  Review Order Status: Check the status of the order. If it is in a state that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status first or use a different approach to modify the order.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to the order type. There may be settings that restrict changes, and adjustments may be needed.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to gracefully manage situations where an order cannot be changed, and provide meaningful feedback to the user.
