How To Fix TR585 - Object key cannot be edited

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TR - Change and Transport System

• Message number: 585

• Message text: Object key cannot be edited

What causes this issue?

You branched to the key maintenance screen. However, maintenance of
keys is not possible, because the first field of the key is not
internal data type C. In this particular case, the entire object must
be transported.

System Response

Maintenance is not allowed. Continuing to the key field screen is
possible only for entries already in existence.

How to fix this error?

Transport the entire object. We recommend that you define key fields
with the internal data types C, D, N, or T as these types cannot be
represented in compressed form and consequently unrestricted
maintenance is possible.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR585 - Object key cannot be edited ?

  The SAP error message TR585 ("Object key cannot be edited") typically occurs when you are trying to edit a transport request or an object that is locked or not in a state that allows editing. This can happen for various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow editing, such as "Released" or "Completed."
  Locking Mechanism: The object you are trying to edit may be locked by another user or process.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the transport request or the objects within it.
  Object Type Restrictions: Certain object types may have restrictions on editing once they are in a specific state.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check the status of the transport request. If it is released, you will need to create a new transport request or revert the status if possible.
  
  
  
  Unlock the Object:
  
  If the object is locked, you can check who has locked it using transaction code SM12. If it is safe to do so, you can unlock it.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to edit the transport request. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  
  
  
  Create a New Transport Request:
  
  If the current transport request cannot be edited, consider creating a new transport request and moving the objects you need to modify into that request.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
