  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_API_CCI120 with the description "Component before production must not be changed" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Change Management or Production Planning modules. This error indicates that there is an attempt to modify a component or material that is already in a production state, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Production Status: The component or material you are trying to change is already marked as being in production. This means that any changes to its configuration, attributes, or related data are restricted to maintain the integrity of the production process.
  Change Management Settings: The system settings may be configured to prevent changes to components that are already in production to avoid inconsistencies or errors in production orders.
  Locking Mechanism: The component may be locked due to ongoing production activities, preventing any modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Production Status: Verify the production status of the component. If it is indeed in production, you will need to wait until the production process is completed before making any changes.
  Review Change Management Policies: Consult with your SAP administrator or change management team to understand the policies in place regarding changes to components in production. They may provide guidance on how to proceed.
  Use a Different Approach: If changes are necessary, consider creating a new version of the component or material instead of modifying the existing one. This allows you to maintain the integrity of the production process while still implementing necessary changes.
  Unlocking the Component: If you believe the component should not be locked, investigate if there are any ongoing processes that are preventing changes. You may need to unlock it through appropriate SAP transactions, but this should be done with caution and proper authorization.
