This error typically arises in the context of the integration between SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing (or SAP Ariba), where the RFQ process is managed.
  Cause:

  Workflow Status: The RFQ may be in a status that does not allow modifications, such as being in a review or approval stage.
  Integration Settings: There may be specific settings in the integration configuration that prevent changes after the RFQ is sent.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check RFQ Status: Verify the status of the RFQ in SAP Sourcing. If it is already sent, you may need to either wait for it to be processed or check if it can be canceled or modified in SAP Sourcing.
  Create a New RFQ: If changes are necessary, consider creating a new RFQ instead of modifying the existing one. This is often the simplest solution when changes are required after transmission.
  Consult Documentation: Review the integration documentation between SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing to understand the limitations and processes involved in RFQ management.
  Contact Support: If you believe this error is occurring inappropriately or if you need to make urgent changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Integration Configuration: Ensure that the integration settings between SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing are correctly configured to handle RFQs as per your business requirements.
