  The SAP error message LSOPV786, which states "Course type cannot be changed," typically occurs in the context of SAP Learning Solution (LSO) when there is an attempt to change the course type of a course that is already defined in the system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including the course being linked to existing bookings, evaluations, or other dependencies that prevent changes to its type.

  Create a New Course: If changing the course type is not feasible due to existing constraints, consider creating a new course with the desired course type and transferring any relevant information or materials from the old course.
