This error indicates that there is an issue preventing the system from updating or changing all relevant documents associated with a material movement or transaction.
  Causes:
  
  
  Document Locking: The document you are trying to change may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently being processed that involves the same document.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the document. This can be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material document, such as missing or incorrect entries in related tables.
  
  
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration settings in the material management module can lead to issues when trying to change documents.
  
  
  Batch Management: If the material is batch-managed, there may be issues with the batch status or availability.
