  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_CLF006 typically indicates that you are trying to change a change number in a document or object without saving the changes you have made to that document or object. This is a common issue in SAP when working with change management or configuration management, particularly in the context of the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because SAP requires that all changes made to a document or object must be saved before you can change the associated change number. This is a safeguard to ensure that no unsaved changes are lost when switching contexts or making further modifications.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Save Your Changes: Before attempting to change the change number, ensure that you save any modifications you have made to the document or object. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your changes.
  
  
  Check for Unsaved Changes: If you are unsure whether you have unsaved changes, review the fields in the document or object. If any fields are highlighted or marked as changed, make sure to save them.
  
  
  Retry Changing the Change Number: After saving your changes, attempt to change the change number again. The error should no longer appear if all changes have been saved properly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes in SAP PLM that you are using, as they may have specific workflows or requirements.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the document or object in question. Lack of permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
