• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_CP097 - You cannot change notification &1 in this system ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_CP097 with the text "You cannot change notification &1 in this system" typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or related modules when a user attempts to modify a notification that is not allowed to be changed in the current system environment. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  
  Status of the Notification: The notification may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the notification is already completed or closed, it may be locked for further modifications.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the notification. This can be due to role restrictions or missing authorizations in the user's profile.
  
  
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict changes to certain notifications based on specific criteria, such as the type of notification or the organizational unit.
  
  
  Cross-Client Settings: If the notification is created in a different client or system, it may not be editable in the current client due to cross-client restrictions.
  
  
  Locking Mechanism: The notification might be locked by another user or process, preventing any changes until it is released.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Notification Status: Verify the status of the notification. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed or closed), you may need to reopen it or create a new notification.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify notifications. This may involve checking the user's roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to system configuration, check if there are any settings that restrict changes to notifications. This may require assistance from a system administrator or SAP consultant.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check if the notification is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has the lock.
  
  
  Create a New Notification: If the notification cannot be changed due to system restrictions, consider creating a new notification with the required changes instead of modifying the existing one.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IW21 (Create Notification), IW22 (Change Notification), and IW23 (Display Notification) for managing notifications.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions for specific scenarios.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Plant Maintenance and notifications for best practices and guidelines on managing notifications effectively.
