• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LE_SHP_ODATA_API_OD020 - Attribute &1 cannot be changed while performing a batch split on item &2 ?

  The SAP error message LE_SHP_ODATA_API_OD020 indicates that there is an attempt to change an attribute of a delivery item during a batch split operation, which is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of handling deliveries in the Logistics Execution (LE) module, particularly when working with OData APIs for delivery processing.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A batch split is being performed on a delivery item, and the system detects that an attribute (like quantity, batch number, or status) is being modified while the split is in progress.
  Certain attributes are locked during the batch split process to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  The specific attribute being modified is not allowed to be changed during this operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Batch Split Process: Ensure that the batch split is being performed correctly and that no attributes are being inadvertently modified during this process.
  
  
  Check the Attributes: Identify which attribute (denoted by &1 in the error message) is causing the issue. Review the business logic to ensure that this attribute is not being changed during the batch split.
  
  
  Adjust the API Call: If you are using an OData API to perform the operation, ensure that the request does not include changes to the attributes that are restricted during a batch split.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific OData API you are using to understand the constraints and rules regarding batch splits.
  
  
  Testing: If possible, test the batch split operation in a development or test environment to replicate the issue and verify that the changes you are making do not conflict with the batch split requirements.
