How To Fix SCTS_PACKMODE020 - Package &4 is in maintenance mode: Object cannot be edited

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCTS_PACKMODE - Development/Maintenance Mode at Package Level

• Message number: 020

• Message text: Package &4 is in maintenance mode: Object cannot be edited

What causes this issue?

Package &V4& is in maintenance mode. This means that you can make only
corrections to errors in this package; you cannot develop any new
objects, or make any incompatible changes (such as changes to the
interface). This is the same as in a Support Package system.
The system administrator has set package &V4& so that only a few object
types in it can be changed or created.
The object you are editing:
&V1& &V2& &V3&
cannot be changed or created in package &V4&.

System Response

The function terminates. Changes are not saved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to change an existing object, first check whether the
change is really a correction to an error, or some other unavoidable
modification. If the change is urgent, contact your Q Manager, so that
he or she can approve an exception for the object
&V1& &V2& &V3&
in the system.
If you want to create a new object, create it in a package that is not
in maintenance mode, where you can develop new objects. Your Q Manager
can tell you which packages in your development area are approved for
new developments.
If you have any other questions, speak to your QaP (Quality and
Planning) contact.
