• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2007 - Entity type &2 cannot be changed via change request ?

  The SAP error message USMD2007 indicates that an entity type (in this case, represented by &2) cannot be changed via a change request. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to modify certain entities that are not allowed to be changed through the standard change request process.
  Cause:
  
  Entity Type Restrictions: The entity type you are trying to change may be restricted from being modified through change requests due to its configuration in the system. Some entities are designed to be static or are managed differently.
  Change Request Configuration: The change request may not be configured to allow changes to the specific entity type. This can happen if the entity is not included in the change request type or if the change request is not set up to handle changes for that entity.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization restrictions preventing the change request from being processed for that entity type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Entity Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the entity type in the MDG settings. Ensure that it is allowed to be changed via change requests. This may involve checking the data model and the change request type settings.
  Modify Change Request Type: If the entity type is not included in the change request type, you may need to modify the change request type to include it. This can be done in the MDG customizing settings.
  Use Direct Change: If the entity type cannot be changed via a change request, consider using direct change methods (if applicable) to update the entity. This may involve using transaction codes or other methods outside of the change request process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the entity type and its change request capabilities.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to the entity type in question.
