• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECD136 - Changing the due dates is only possible for planned items ?

  The SAP error message RECD136, which states "Changing the due dates is only possible for planned items," typically occurs in the context of managing planned orders or production orders in SAP. This error indicates that you are attempting to change the due dates of items that are not in a planned state, such as confirmed or released orders.
  Cause:
  
  Order Status: The item you are trying to change is not in a "planned" status. It may be confirmed, released, or in some other status that does not allow for due date changes.
  Item Type: The item may be a non-planned item, such as a production order that has already been scheduled or executed.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict changes to certain types of orders or items based on business rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Status: Verify the status of the order or item you are trying to modify. If it is confirmed or released, you will need to revert it to a planned state before making changes.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction code for changing planned orders (e.g., MD04 for stock/requirements list) rather than for production orders or confirmed orders.
  Reverting Changes: If the order is confirmed, you may need to cancel or reverse the confirmation before you can change the due dates.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on managing planned orders and production orders to understand the correct procedures.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the order. Sometimes, restrictions are in place based on user roles.
