  The SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC024 -- Changing attributes is not allowed: &1 &2 &3 &4 typically indicates that there is an attempt to change certain attributes of a business object or data record that are not allowed to be modified in the current context. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when working with master data, configuration settings, or specific transactional data.

  Attribute Restrictions: The attributes you are trying to change may be restricted due to business rules or system settings. For example, certain fields may be locked after a transaction is completed or after a certain status is reached.
