  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the function module.
  System Settings: Certain system settings or configurations may restrict editing of RFC function modules.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Function Module Status:
  
  Go to transaction SE37 (Function Builder) and check the status of the function module. If it is released, you may need to create a new version or make a copy to edit it.

  Use a Different Approach:
  
  If you need to make changes, consider creating a new function module or a copy of the existing one, if allowed. This way, you can implement your changes without affecting the original module.
