  Check Sales Order Type: Verify the sales order type and its associated settings to ensure that it allows for the intended operations on schedule lines.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific requirements for the item type and sales order type you are working with.
