APPL_MM_PUR_OA_CON046
- Cannot edit pur. contract &1 as it is created from an external document ?The SAP error message APPL_MM_PUR_OA_CON046 indicates that you are trying to edit a purchase contract that was created from an external document, such as a purchase order or a contract from another system. This restriction is in place to maintain data integrity and ensure that contracts created from external sources are not modified directly in SAP.
Cause: External Document Origin: The purchase contract was created based on an external document, which means it is linked to an external system or process. System Restrictions: SAP has built-in restrictions to prevent changes to contracts that originate from external documents to avoid inconsistencies and potential data integrity issues.
Solution: Check the Source Document: Identify the external document from which the purchase contract was created. You may need to make changes to the original document instead of the contract in SAP.
