  The SAP error message BS_CC_MESSAGES003 ("At least one parent of the node you want to keep is immutable") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Suite or SAP S/4HANA when working with the Change Request Management (ChaRM) or similar configuration management tools. This error indicates that you are trying to modify or delete a node in a hierarchy (like a project structure or a change request) that has an immutable parent node. Immutable nodes are those that cannot be changed or deleted due to certain constraints or settings.
  Causes:
  
  Immutable Parent Node: The parent node of the node you are trying to modify is set to be immutable. This could be due to configuration settings that prevent changes to certain nodes.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to make changes to the parent node or its children.
  System Configuration: Certain system settings or configurations may enforce immutability on specific nodes to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Node Status: Verify the status of the parent node. If it is in a status that prevents changes, you may need to change its status or wait until it is eligible for modification.
  Review Configuration Settings: Look into the configuration settings for the project or change request management to see if there are rules that enforce immutability on certain nodes.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user attempting to make the change has the necessary authorizations to modify the parent node and its children.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling immutable nodes in your version of SAP.
