• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWA_MD060 - &1 &2: Changing the number of containers is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message EEWA_MD060 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the number of containers in a specific context, such as a material master record or a production order. This error usually arises when there is an attempt to change the number of containers in a way that is not allowed by the system's configuration or business rules.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Restrictions: The system may be configured to restrict changes to the number of containers once they have been set. This is common in scenarios where the number of containers is tied to specific production or logistics processes.
  Status of the Document: The document (e.g., production order, delivery, etc.) may be in a status that does not allow changes to the number of containers.
  Data Integrity: The system may prevent changes to maintain data integrity, especially if the containers are linked to other processes or documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document you are trying to modify is in a status that allows changes. If it is completed or closed, you may need to create a new document or reverse the status.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP configuration team to understand if there are specific settings that prevent changes to the number of containers. If necessary, adjustments can be made to allow for changes under certain conditions.
  Use Alternative Methods: If changing the number of containers is not permitted, consider whether you can achieve your goal through other means, such as adjusting the contents of the containers rather than the number of containers themselves.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional context on this error message and any related notes or updates that may provide further guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide updates on known issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to the document you are working with (e.g., CO02 for production orders, MM02 for material master) to better understand where the error is occurring.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the document in question, as restrictions may also be related to user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
