• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEENG114 - Application object type &3 of &1 &2 cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message PPEENG114 indicates that there is an issue with changing an application object type in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Execution (PP/PE) module. This error typically arises when you attempt to modify an object that is either locked, not in a modifiable state, or has certain restrictions based on its configuration or status.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to change may be locked by another user or process.
  Status Restrictions: The object may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it could be in a completed or released state).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the specified object.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the system may prevent changes to specific object types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Locking: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check if the object is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked it.
  
  
  
  Review Object Status: 
  
  Verify the status of the object you are trying to change. If it is in a non-modifiable state, you may need to change its status first (e.g., revert it to a draft state if applicable).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the object. You can check your roles and authorizations with transaction code SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings related to the object type in question. This may involve checking the customizing settings in the SPRO transaction to see if there are any restrictions on the object type.
