  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to change a field (denoted as &4) in a contract or asset that is in a status that does not permit such changes.
  The system is enforcing business rules that restrict modifications to certain fields once the contract or asset has reached a specific lifecycle stage (e.g., approved, completed, etc.).

  Consult with SAP Support or Functional Team: If you are unsure about the rules or the status, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP functional team or SAP support for guidance on how to proceed.
  
  
  Consider Workarounds: If the change is critical and cannot be made due to the lifecycle status, consider if there are alternative approaches, such as creating a new contract or asset with the desired values.
