  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PI012 Function '&1' not permitted. Data has already been changed typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that an attempt was made to perform an operation that is not allowed because the data has already been modified by another process or user.

  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: If you suspect that the data has changed, refresh the screen or re-fetch the data to ensure you are working with the most current version.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the data you are trying to modify. If you find locks, you may need to wait for the other transaction to complete or contact the user who has locked the record.
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the action. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations if necessary.
  Retry the Operation: After ensuring that the data is not locked and that you have the correct authorizations, try to perform the operation again.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional context or fixes.
