• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DSG011 - Operation & & can not be changed : Digitally signed operation ?

  The SAP error message DSG011 indicates that an operation that has been digitally signed cannot be changed. This typically occurs in scenarios where a document or transaction has been finalized and signed, ensuring its integrity and authenticity. Once a digital signature is applied, the content is locked to prevent any modifications that could compromise the signed data.
  Cause:
  
  Digital Signature Applied: The operation or document has already been digitally signed, which means it is in a finalized state.
  System Configuration: The system is configured to prevent changes to signed documents to maintain data integrity.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify signed documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Document: Check if the document or operation needs to be modified. If it does, you may need to create a new version or a new document instead of modifying the signed one.
  Unsigning (if applicable): If your business process allows it, you may need to unsign the document before making changes. However, this is generally not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the document.
  Consult with IT or SAP Support: If you believe the operation should be changeable, consult with your IT department or SAP support to understand the specific configurations and permissions in your system.
  Create a New Entry: If changes are necessary, consider creating a new entry or document that reflects the required changes instead of modifying the signed one.
