  Charge Type: The charge line in question is likely an automatic charge (e.g., based on a freight agreement or a predefined calculation rule) rather than a manual charge that can be edited.

  Creating a new charge line and ensuring it is marked as a manual charge.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe the charge line should be editable, review the configuration settings in SAP TM to ensure that the charge types and calculation rules are set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on charge line management and the implications of charge types.
