• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_PM_ADDON234 - Technical status can be changed only for open and released operations ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_PM_ADDON234 indicates that there is an attempt to change the technical status of an operation that is either closed or not released. This error typically occurs in the context of project management or production planning within SAP, particularly when dealing with operations in a maintenance or production order.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Operations: The operation you are trying to change has already been completed and closed. In SAP, once an operation is closed, its status cannot be modified.
  Not Released Operations: The operation has not been released yet, meaning it is not in a state where changes can be made.
  Incorrect Status: The operation might be in a status that does not allow for changes, such as "Completed" or "Cancelled".
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operation Status: Verify the current status of the operation you are trying to change. You can do this by navigating to the relevant order or project and checking the operation details.
  Open or Release the Operation: If the operation is closed, you will need to reopen it if your business process allows for that. If it is not released, you will need to release it before making any changes.
  Consult with Your Team: If you are unsure about the status or the implications of changing it, consult with your project manager or team lead to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like CO02 for changing production orders or IW32 for changing maintenance orders) to check and modify the operation status if permissible.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for specific guidelines on handling operations and their statuses.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change the status of operations. Sometimes, restrictions are in place based on user roles.
  Business Processes: Understand the business processes in place regarding operations management, as there may be specific workflows that dictate how and when statuses can be changed.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
