  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV204 ASNs cannot be changed in the validation scenario chosen typically occurs in the context of Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) processing within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This error indicates that the system is preventing changes to the ASN due to the validation scenario that has been configured.
  Cause:

  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SCM module may have specific rules that prevent changes to ASNs under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check ASN Status: Verify the status of the ASN. If it is already confirmed or processed, you may need to create a new ASN or reverse the previous confirmation if applicable.
  Review Validation Scenario: Review the validation scenario settings in the system. If the scenario is too restrictive, consider adjusting the configuration to allow changes under certain conditions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on the validation scenarios and their implications on ASN processing.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user attempting to make changes has the necessary authorizations to modify ASNs in the chosen validation scenario.
