  The SAP error message /RPM/CONFIGURATION024 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a derived field in the SAP system, specifically that the property "read-only" cannot be set to false for a derived field. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Resource and Portfolio Management (RPM) module or similar configuration scenarios.
  
  Cause:
  
  Derived Field Characteristics: Derived fields are typically calculated based on other fields and are inherently read-only. The system does not allow changes to the read-only status of these fields because they are meant to reflect calculated values rather than user input.
  Configuration Error: The error may arise from an attempt to modify the properties of a derived field in the configuration settings, where the system is enforcing the rule that derived fields must remain read-only.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Field Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the derived field in question. Ensure that you are not trying to change the read-only property
