• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL153 - You cannot change object dependencies with change number & ?

  The SAP error message CL153 indicates that you are trying to change object dependencies (such as class or characteristic dependencies) that are associated with a change number that is currently active. This error typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP, where object dependencies are used to define how different characteristics and values relate to each other.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are attempting to modify an object dependency that is linked to a change number that is not in the "active" state.
  The system is designed to prevent changes to object dependencies while they are under a specific change number to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Change Number Status:
  
  Verify the status of the change number you are trying to modify. If it is not in the "active" state, you may need to activate it or change its status.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the Change Number:
  
  If the change number is currently active and you need to make changes, you may need to deactivate it first. This can usually be done in the change management transaction (e.g., transaction code CC01 for creating change numbers, CC02 for changing them).
  
  
  
  Modify Object Dependencies:
  
  Once the change number is deactivated, you should be able to modify the object dependencies without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Change Number:
  
  After making the necessary changes, you can reactivate the change number if needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the process or the implications of deactivating a change number, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
