• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES806 - Cannot change RFQ &1 with status &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES806 indicates that you are trying to change a Request for Quotation (RFQ) that is in a status that does not allow modifications. The error message typically includes the RFQ number (&1) and its current status (&2), which helps identify the specific RFQ and its state.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the RFQ is in a status that is not editable. Common statuses that may prevent changes include:
  
  Completed: The RFQ process has been finalized.
  Cancelled: The RFQ has been cancelled and cannot be modified.
  Locked: The RFQ may be locked due to ongoing processes or approvals.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status: Review the status of the RFQ to understand why it cannot be changed. You can do this by navigating to the RFQ in the SAP system and checking its current status.
  
  
  Change the Status: If the RFQ is in a status that allows for changes (e.g., "Draft" or "Open"), you may need to change its status first. This may involve:
  
  Reopening the RFQ if it was completed.
  Unlocking the RFQ if it is locked due to a process.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the status, consult with your SAP administrator or the team responsible for managing RFQs. They may have the authority to change the status or provide guidance on how to proceed.
  
  
  Review Business Processes: Ensure that your actions align with the business processes in place. Sometimes, RFQs are intentionally locked or marked as completed to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are familiar with SAP transaction codes, you can use relevant transactions (like ME41 for creating RFQs or ME42 for changing them) to navigate directly to the RFQ and check its details.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on RFQ statuses and their implications.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to RFQs and their statuses.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the appropriate roles and authorizations to modify RFQs in the system.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
