  The SAP error message "CRM_FS_CHANGE074 Initialization at header level is not possible" typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when there is an attempt to initialize or change a header-level object (like a sales order, service order, etc.) that is not allowed due to certain conditions or states of the document.
  Causes:
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the document is already completed, archived, or in a locked state, you may encounter this error.
  Missing Data: Required fields or data at the header level may be missing or not properly initialized, preventing the system from processing the request.
