  Creating a new version or copying the existing version to a new one and making it inactive.
  Deleting the triggers in the inactive version.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you need to make changes in the active version, consider transporting the changes from the inactive version to the active version after making the necessary modifications.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific SCM module you are working with for more detailed instructions on managing versions and triggers.
