  Cause:
  The error message VT556 ("Access sequence & is within the SAP sector: It can only be displayed") usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Access Sequence Configuration: The access sequence you are trying to use is configured in a way that restricts changes or updates. It may be set to "display only" mode.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the access sequence or the condition records associated with it.
  
  
  System Settings: The system may be configured to prevent changes to certain standard access sequences that are part of the SAP standard delivery.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VT556 error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Access Sequence Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/07 (Access Sequences) and check the configuration of the access sequence in question.
  Ensure that the access sequence is not set to "display only" and that it is configured correctly for the intended use.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to modify the access sequence or the condition records.
  You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
  
  If the access sequence is a standard SAP object, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to determine if there are any restrictions in place that prevent changes to the access sequence.
  They may need to adjust the configuration or provide the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Transactions:
