  Cause:
  
  Company Code Assignment: The card (vendor/customer) is assigned to a specific company code, and the changes being attempted are not permitted for that assignment.
  Status of the Record: The record may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it could be locked or marked as inactive).

  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code for the changes you want to make. Some transactions may have restrictions on what can be changed.
