  The SAP error message /ILE/ANNX_GENERAL836 indicates that you are attempting to change the terms of an already released annexed purchase document. This typically occurs in the context of procurement processes where purchase documents (like purchase orders) have been released for processing, and any changes to the terms are restricted to maintain the integrity of the procurement process.
  Cause:
  
  Released Document: The purchase document has already been released, meaning it is in a state where it is being processed or has been approved.
  Change Restrictions: SAP has built-in controls to prevent changes to certain fields or terms of a document once it has been released to avoid discrepancies and maintain compliance with procurement policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the purchase document. If it is indeed released, you may need to follow the proper procedures to make changes.
  Revoke Release: If changes are necessary, you may need to revoke the release of the document. This can typically be done by a user with the appropriate authorization. After revoking the release, you can make the necessary changes.
  Create a New Document: If the changes are significant and cannot be made to the existing document, consider creating a new purchase document with the updated terms.
  Consult with Procurement Team: Engage with your procurement or purchasing team to understand the implications of changing the document and to follow the correct process.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional guidance on handling this error.
