  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG076 indicates that you are trying to change an attribute of an object that is currently set to read-only. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Change Request Management (ChaRM) or when dealing with certain configuration objects that are locked or restricted from modification.
  Cause:
  
  
  Read-Only Status: The object you are trying to modify is in a read-only state. This can happen if:
  
  The object is currently locked by another user or process.
  The object is part of a transport request that is already released.
  The object is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed, archived).
  The object is being accessed in a context that does not permit changes (e.g., a display mode).
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the object.
  
  
  System Configuration: Certain system settings or configurations may prevent changes to specific objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object you are trying to change. If it is locked or in a completed state, you may need to unlock it or change its status.
  
  
  Release Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is not released. If it is, you may need to create a new transport request for further changes.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations.
  
  
  Change Mode: Make sure you are in the correct mode to make changes. If you are in display mode, switch to edit mode.
