MC707 - Details

• The SAP error message MC707 ("Field name cannot be changed for view type P") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Material Management (MM) or Logistics Information System (LIS) when you are trying to modify a field in a view that is not allowed to be changed. This error is specifically related to the data dictionary and the way views are defined in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  View Type P: The error indicates that you are trying to change a field in a view of type "P" (which stands for "Projection"). In SAP, projection views are designed to present data from one or more tables without allowing changes to the underlying structure.
  Field Definition: The field you are attempting to change is likely defined in a way that does not permit modifications. This could be due to the field being part of a standard SAP view or a view that is locked for changes.
