• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOS03109 - Quantity &1 &2 cannot be changed in simulation/mass change mode ?

  The SAP error message BOS03109 indicates that there is an attempt to change a quantity in a simulation or mass change mode, but the system does not allow this action. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is set to a mode that restricts changes to certain fields, such as quantities, to prevent unintended modifications during simulations or mass updates.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The system is in simulation mode, which is designed to allow users to view potential changes without actually applying them. In this mode, certain fields, like quantities, are locked to prevent changes.
  Mass Change Mode: Similar to simulation mode, mass change mode may have restrictions on which fields can be modified. If the configuration or the specific transaction does not allow changes to quantities, this error will occur.
  Field Status Group: The field status group assigned to the relevant transaction or document type may restrict changes to certain fields based on the configuration in the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Change Mode: If you need to make changes to the quantities, ensure that you are in the correct mode (change mode) rather than simulation or mass change mode.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the transaction or document type you are working with. Ensure that the field status group allows changes to the quantity field in the relevant mode.
  Use Different Transaction: If the current transaction does not allow changes in simulation or mass change mode, consider using a different transaction that supports the required changes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction you are using, as there may be additional restrictions or requirements.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Identify the specific transaction code you are using when encountering this error, as different transactions may have different rules regarding simulation and mass changes.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the system. Sometimes, restrictions can be due to user roles and permissions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Testing in Development: If you are in a development or testing environment, try replicating the issue to understand the conditions under which it occurs.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific SAP environment and configuration.
