• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LOP096 - Only field &1 can be changed. Business key &2 ?

  The SAP error message LOP096 ("Only field &1 can be changed. Business key &2") typically occurs in the context of SAP Logistics or SAP Supply Chain Management when there is an attempt to modify a field in a document or record that is not allowed due to business rules or system constraints.
  Cause:
  
  Field Restrictions: The error indicates that only a specific field (denoted by &1) is allowed to be changed in the current context, while other fields are locked for editing. This is often due to the business logic defined in the system.
  Business Key Constraints: The business key (denoted by &2) refers to a unique identifier for the record being processed. Changes to certain fields may violate the integrity of the business key or the associated data model.
  Document Status: The document or record may be in a status that restricts changes to certain fields. For example, if a document is already processed or completed, only specific fields may be editable.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Editable Fields: Review the documentation or configuration for the specific transaction or module you are working with to understand which fields are editable and under what conditions.
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document or record is in a status that allows for the intended changes. If the document is locked or completed, you may need to reverse or change its status before making edits.
  Consult with Configuration: If you believe the field should be editable, consult with your SAP configuration team to see if there are any settings that can be adjusted to allow for the desired changes.
  Use Appropriate Transactions: Make sure you are using the correct transaction codes or processes for the changes you are trying to make. Some changes may require specific transactions that allow for more flexibility.
