• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSB_API_MSGCL068 - Change operation not allowed for collective PR grouping ?

  The SAP error message PSB_API_MSGCL068 indicates that a change operation is not allowed for a collective Purchase Requisition (PR) grouping. This typically occurs when you attempt to modify a collective PR that has been grouped together, and the system does not permit changes to the grouped items.
  Cause:
  
  Collective Purchase Requisition: The error arises when you try to change a collective PR that has been created by grouping multiple individual PRs. The system restricts changes to maintain the integrity of the collective grouping.
  Status of the PR: The status of the collective PR may not allow for changes. For example, if the PR is already in a status that indicates it is being processed or has been converted to a Purchase Order (PO), changes may be restricted.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the collective PR.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Status: Verify the status of the collective PR. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., already converted to a PO), you will need to handle the individual PRs instead.
  Modify Individual PRs: If you need to make changes, consider modifying the individual PRs that were grouped into the collective PR. You can ungroup the collective PR if necessary, depending on your system's capabilities.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the PR. If not, contact your SAP administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling collective PRs and the restrictions that apply.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on handling collective PRs.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to Purchase Requisitions (e.g., ME51N for creating PRs, ME52N for changing PRs).
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedures for handling collective PRs to avoid such errors in the future.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant for further assistance.
