This typically occurs in the context of maintenance orders or production orders where certain statuses restrict modifications to ensure data integrity and process consistency.
  Cause:

  Technical Status: The order has reached a status that prohibits changes. For example, the order might be completed, closed, or technically completed.
  Order Type Restrictions: Certain order types have predefined statuses that limit what can be modified.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict changes to equipment once certain milestones in the order lifecycle are reached.
  
  Solution:

  Check Order Status:
