  The SAP error message SPC01010, which states "You cannot change the price using confirmation control," typically occurs in the context of production orders or confirmations in SAP. This error indicates that the system is preventing changes to the price of a material or service due to the settings in the confirmation control.
  Cause:
  
  Confirmation Control Settings: The confirmation control settings for the production order may be configured to prevent price changes after a certain point in the process.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that does not allow for price changes (e.g., if it is already confirmed or completed).
