  Solution:
  
  Review the Data Model: Check the configuration of the data model in MDM to understand which attributes are marked as fixed. You may need to consult with your MDM administrator or data model designer.
  Modify the Data Entry Process: If the attribute needs to be changed, consider whether the data entry process can be adjusted to allow for changes before the attribute is fixed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP MDM documentation or help resources to understand the implications of fixed attributes and how they are intended to be used.
  Contact Support: If you believe the attribute should not be fixed or if you need to change it for business reasons, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for assistance.
