  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_UR154 indicates that all equipment in the selection is either locked or change protected. This typically occurs in the context of equipment management or maintenance processes within SAP, particularly in modules related to Plant Maintenance (PM) or Industry-Specific Solutions (IS).
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Equipment: The equipment you are trying to access or modify is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen if another user is editing the equipment or if a transaction is still in progress.
  
  
  Change Protection: The equipment may be set to a status that prevents changes. This can be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The equipment is in a maintenance order that is currently being processed.
  The equipment is marked as "change protected" due to specific business rules or configurations.
  The equipment is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., "Technically Completed").
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the equipment.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the equipment. If you find that the equipment is locked by another user, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Review Equipment Status:
  
  Check the status of the equipment using transaction code IE03 (Display Equipment). Ensure that the equipment is not in a status that prevents changes. If it is, you may need to change the status or wait until the maintenance order is completed.
  
  
  
  Change Protection Settings:
  
  If the equipment is change protected, review the configuration settings in your SAP system to determine why it is protected. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to adjust these settings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the equipment. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines specific to your organization regarding equipment management and maintenance processes.
