• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /FTI/SERV_TECH_ERROR059 - Key changes are only permitted for entities with an ETag ?

  The SAP error message /FTI/SERV_TECH_ERROR059 indicates that there is an issue related to the handling of entities in the SAP system, specifically regarding the use of ETags (Entity Tags). This error typically arises when you attempt to make changes to an entity that does not have a valid ETag associated with it. ETags are used in web services and APIs to manage concurrency and ensure that updates are made to the correct version of a resource.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing ETag: The entity you are trying to modify does not have an ETag associated with it. This can happen if the entity was not retrieved properly or if it was created without an ETag.
  Concurrency Issues: The system is designed to prevent updates to entities that may have been modified by another process or user since the last retrieval. If the ETag is missing, the system cannot verify the current state of the entity.
  Incorrect API
