• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_SVC_MDC_API006 - Perform.rate cannot be changed; "Changeable" ind. not set in Customizing ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_SVC_MDC_API006 indicates that you are trying to change the performance rate of a service or activity in the system, but the "Changeable" indicator is not set in the Customizing settings. This typically occurs in the context of service management or project management within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system is configured in such a way that the performance rate for the specific service or activity is not allowed to be changed. This is controlled by a setting in the Customizing configuration, which determines whether certain fields can be modified after they have been initially set.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to check and potentially modify the Customizing settings related to the performance rate. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Access Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the Customizing area (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Follow the path: Project Management and Control -> Project Structures -> Define Performance Rates.
  
  
  
  Check the Changeable Indicator:
  
  Look for the specific service or activity for which you are trying to change the performance rate.
  Check if the "Changeable" indicator is set. If it is not set, you will need to enable it.
  
  
  
  Modify the Setting:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, set the "Changeable" indicator for the performance rate.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Change:
  
  After making the changes, try to change the performance rate again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the Customizing settings.
