  The SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_CGPL012, which states "Adjacent audit component & cannot be changed," typically occurs in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) when you are trying to modify an audit component that is adjacent to another component in a structure or hierarchy. This error is often related to the configuration of audit components in the system.
  Cause:

  Check Component Status: Ensure that the component you are trying to change is not locked or in use. If it is, you may need to wait until it is released or unlock it if you have the necessary permissions.
  Review Hierarchy: Examine the hierarchy of the audit components. If adjacent components are interdependent, you may need to change them in a specific order or make changes to the entire structure rather than individual components.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing audit components. There may be best practices or specific procedures to follow.
  System Configuration: If you have access to system configuration settings, check if there are any restrictions in place that can be modified to allow changes to adjacent components.
