  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources to understand which fields can be modified and which cannot.
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for the changes you want to make. For example, use transaction codes like FS00 for G/L account maintenance.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to make the changes. Sometimes, restrictions can be due to user roles and permissions.
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific configuration of your system.
