• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER329 - Order &1 item &2: Change is not possible (statistical item) ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER329 indicates that a change to a specific item in an order is not possible because the item is classified as a "statistical item." This typically occurs in the context of supply chain management (SCM) or advanced planning and optimization scenarios within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Item: The item in question is marked as a statistical item, which means it is used for reporting or analysis purposes rather than for actual inventory or financial transactions. Changes to statistical items are restricted to maintain data integrity.
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow changes to be made, especially if it has already been processed or confirmed.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict changes to certain types of items or orders based on business rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Item Type: Check if the item should indeed be a statistical item. If it should not be, you may need to change the item type in the master data or order configuration.
  Check Order Status: Verify the status of the order. If the order is completed or in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to create a new order or reverse the status if possible.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if there are any restrictions on changing statistical items. This may involve consulting with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant.
  Use Alternative Methods: If you need to make adjustments related to the statistical item, consider using alternative methods such as creating a new order or adjusting the reporting parameters instead of changing the existing order.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific documentation related to the SCM module for more details on handling statistical items and order management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMB/ORDER for order management and /SCMB/ITEM for item details.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have specific business requirements, consider using user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the behavior of the system regarding statistical items.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
