  The SAP error message CLMM060 indicates that a specific object (such as a material, document, or other master data) must be maintained with a change number. This typically occurs in the context of change management within SAP, particularly when dealing with change numbers in the context of engineering change management (ECM) or similar processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to make changes to an object that is subject to change management without specifying a valid change number. Change numbers are used in SAP to track changes to objects, ensuring that modifications are controlled and documented. This is particularly important in industries where compliance and traceability are critical.
  Solution:

  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP where you are trying to make the changes (e.g., MM02 for material master).
  When prompted, enter the change number in the appropriate field.
  Ensure that the change number is valid and active.
  
  
  
  Check Change Number Status: If you are unsure about the status of the change number, you can check it using transaction codes like CC01 (Create Change Number) or CC02 (Change Change Number) to ensure it is not locked or inactive.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unfamiliar with the change management process in your organization, refer to internal documentation or guidelines regarding how to handle change numbers.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to use change numbers. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP security administrator.
