• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PYD_FND306 - Process cannot be edited because it falls in defined process namespace ?

  The SAP error message PYD_FND306 indicates that a process cannot be edited because it falls within a defined process namespace. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when dealing with process definitions that are locked or restricted due to namespace rules.
