This error indicates that there are restrictions on modifying certain fields during a specific personnel action.

  Field Restrictions: Certain fields in the infotype (like infotype 0000 for actions) are locked for changes based on the action type. For example, if you are trying to change fields that are not allowed for a specific action (like hiring, termination, etc.), this error will be triggered.
