This error typically arises in the context of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) processes, such as when trying to change the status of a business transaction (like a sales order, service request, etc.) or when modifying items within that transaction.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following factors:
  
  Status Configuration: The item has a status that is not configured to allow the specific change you are trying to make. For example, if an item is in a "Completed" or "Closed" status, it may not allow further modifications.
  Business Rules: There may be business rules or logic defined in the system that restrict changes based on the current status of the item.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
