• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REPOSITORY_HNDLR075 - Custom Field &1: Editing only allowed in source system &2. ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REPOSITORY_HNDLR075 indicates that you are trying to edit a custom field in a system where editing is not permitted. This typically occurs in scenarios involving SAP S/4HANA Cloud or other environments where custom fields are managed through a central repository, and changes must be made in the source system where the custom field was originally created.
  Cause:
  
  Source System Restriction: The custom field was created in a specific source system (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Cloud), and editing is restricted to that system. This is a safeguard to ensure that changes are made in a controlled environment.
  Transport Layer: If the system is part of a transport landscape, the custom field may not be editable in the target system until it is transported from the source system.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to edit custom fields in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Edit in Source System: To resolve this error, navigate to the source system (the system where the custom field was created) and make the necessary edits there. After making changes, ensure that they are properly transported to the target system if applicable.
  Check Transport Requests: If you are working in a landscape with multiple systems, ensure that the changes are included in a transport request and that the transport has been successfully imported into the target system.
  User Authorization: Verify that you have the appropriate authorizations to edit custom fields in the source system. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the necessary permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or the SAP Help Portal for specific guidelines on managing custom fields in your version of SAP.
