    The SAP error message WB2B2205, which states "Change not possible," typically occurs in the context of business processes related to the SAP Business Partner (BP) or when trying to modify certain data in the system. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.

    Possible Causes:

    1. Data Locking: The data you are trying to change may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently using the same data.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the specific data or object.
    3. Status of the Object: The object you are trying to change may be in a status that does not allow modifications (e.g., it may be marked as "completed" or "archived").

    3. Check Object Status: Review the status of the object you are trying to change. If it is in a non-editable status, you may need to change its status first or consult with your SAP administrator.
    4. Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the relevant settings.
