  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL402 indicates that you are trying to change the assignments of a document in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system, but the assignments are fixed and cannot be modified. This typically occurs when the document has already been processed or is in a state that does not allow changes to its assignments.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The document (such as a transportation order, shipment, or freight order) may be in a status that prevents changes. For example, if the document is already confirmed, completed, or has been released for execution, its assignments may be locked.
  Fixed Assignments: The system may have rules or configurations that fix certain assignments once they are set, preventing any further changes.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Review the status of the document you are trying to change. If it is in a completed or confirmed state, you may need to reverse or cancel the document before making changes.
  Review Assignment Rules: Check the configuration settings in SAP TM to see if there are any rules that fix assignments once they are set. You may need to adjust these settings if appropriate.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction or process to make changes. Some changes may require specific transactions that allow for modifications.
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you believe the document should be editable, consult with your SAP administrator or support team to investigate further. They can check for any system settings or authorizations that may be affecting your ability to change the document.
  Error Handling: If the document must remain unchanged, consider creating a new document with the desired assignments instead of modifying the existing one.
