  • What causes this issue?

    The table/view is locked for manual changes in this system by
    Customizing Distribution.

    System Response

    The data is display only.

    How to fix this error?

    You can only make changes in system &V1&.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    If the necessity for the change is specified, contact the system
    administrator.
    The system administrator checks which of the two options named below is
    the cause of the lock. To do this, you must log on to the SAP Solution
    Manager system.
    The system determined above is the source system of an acttive
    Customizing distribution with editor lock in the target system
    (transaction SCDT_SETUP). You can now make Customizing changes for the
    selected table / view only in source system &V1&.
    The system &V1& determined above is the central system (that is, the SAP
    Solution Manager system) of a local lock. The selected table / view was
    explicitly protected against Customizing changes in this client. You can
    only make Customizing changes by removing the lock (transaction
    SCDT_LOCK) or by the user-specific local assignment of the authorization
    for S_TABU_DIS with activity BD.
    Decide with your system administrator which solution is the right one
    for you.
