• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VC2OD_BO041 - Maintenance of actions not allowed ?

  The SAP error message VC2OD_BO041, which states "Maintenance of actions not allowed," typically occurs in the context of SAP Variant Configuration (VC) when there is an attempt to modify or maintain actions that are not permitted in the current context. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when working with configurable materials, dependencies, or when trying to maintain certain settings in the configuration profile.
  Causes:
