EM018 - Details

• The SAP error message EM018 ("Function not possible with this status") typically indicates that an operation you are trying to perform is not allowed due to the current status of the document or object you are working with. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when dealing with purchase orders, sales orders, or other transactional documents.
  Causes:
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow the requested operation. For example, a purchase order may be in a "Completed" or "Closed" status, preventing further changes.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action on the document.
  Business Logic: Certain business rules may restrict actions based on the current state of the document (e.g., a sales order cannot be deleted if it has already been invoiced).
  Incomplete Data: Required fields or data may be missing, leading to the inability to perform the function.
