- Column cannot be used for mass changes ?The SAP error message VHURL570: "Column cannot be used for mass changes" typically occurs when you are trying to perform mass changes on a field or column in a transaction or report that is not allowed for mass updates. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using transaction codes like MASS or when working with mass maintenance tools.
Cause:
- Field Restrictions: The field you are trying to change may be defined in the system as not being suitable for mass changes. This could be due to business rules, data integrity constraints, or the nature of the data itself.
- Data Type: The data type of the column may not support mass changes. For example, certain fields may be linked to specific business processes that require individual handling.
- Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict certain fields from being updated in bulk to prevent data inconsistencies.
Solution:

- Use Alternative Methods: If mass changes are not allowed for that specific field, consider using alternative methods such as:
- Individual Changes: Make changes one by one if the volume is manageable.
- Batch Input Sessions: Use batch input sessions (transaction SHDB) to automate the process for individual records.
- Custom Programs: If you have development resources, consider creating a custom ABAP program that can handle the changes according to your business logic.
- Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or field to understand any limitations or recommended practices.
