  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE137 indicates that you are trying to modify an appointment in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, but the appointment's status is not "Provisional." This means that the appointment has already been confirmed or finalized, and therefore, it cannot be changed.

  Appointment Status: The appointment you are trying to modify has a status other than "Provisional." This could be "Confirmed," "Completed," or any other status that indicates the appointment is no longer in a modifiable state.
  Business Process: The system is designed to prevent changes to appointments that are already confirmed to maintain data integrity and avoid conflicts in warehouse operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Appointment Status: Verify the current status of the appointment you are trying to modify. You can do this by navigating to the appointment details in the EWM system.
  Revert Status: If you need to make changes, you may need to revert the appointment to a "Provisional" status. This typically requires administrative privileges or specific configurations in the system.
  Create a New Appointment: If reverting the status is not possible, consider creating a new appointment with the desired details instead of modifying the existing one.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific procedures related to appointment management in your organization.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify appointments. If you lack the required access, contact your system administrator.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to appointment management in EWM, such as /SCWM/APP for managing appointments.
