  Error Message:
  W5123 - No changeable PO items exist
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to change or process a Purchase Order (PO) in SAP, but the system finds that there are no PO items available that can be changed. This typically happens because:
  
  All PO items are already fully processed or closed.
  The PO items have been fully invoiced or delivered.
  The PO items are in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., blocked, deleted, or already finalized).
  The user is trying to change a PO item that is not modifiable due to system or business rules.
  The PO is referencing items that are not relevant for the current transaction (e.g., trying to create a goods receipt for a PO item that is already fully received).
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During goods receipt (GR) or invoice verification (MIRO) against a PO.
  When trying to change or update PO items in transaction codes like ME22N.
  When attempting to create or post documents referencing PO items that are not changeable.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check PO Item Status:
  
  Go to the PO display/change transaction (ME23N/ME22N).
  Verify the status of the PO items.
  Check if the items are already fully delivered, invoiced, or closed.
  
  
  
  Check Quantity and Delivery Status:
  
  Confirm if the PO item quantity has been fully received or invoiced.
  If the quantity is fully processed, no further changes or postings are possible.
  
  
  
  Check for Blocked or Deleted Items:
  
  Verify if the PO items are blocked or deleted.
  Blocked items cannot be changed or processed further.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Transaction or Document:
  
  If you are trying to post a goods receipt or invoice, ensure you select PO items that are still open.
  If no open items exist, you cannot post further documents against this PO.
  
  
  
  Create a New PO or PO Item:
  
  If changes are required and no changeable items exist, consider creating a new PO or adding new PO items.
