  The SAP error message WB2B2225 indicates that a batch classification cannot be changed for a specific batch, material, and plant. This error typically arises in the context of batch management and classification in SAP, particularly when trying to modify the classification data of a batch that is already in use or has certain restrictions.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Status: The batch may be in a status that does not allow changes to its classification. For example, if the batch is already allocated to a production order, sales order, or has been delivered, it may be locked for changes.
  Batch Characteristics: The batch may have characteristics that are defined as non-changeable after certain processes have been executed.

  Check Batch Status: Verify the status of the batch in question. If it is locked due to being in use, you may need to complete or cancel the associated processes (like production or delivery) before making changes.
  Review Batch Characteristics: Check the characteristics assigned to the batch. If they are set to be non-changeable, you may need to create a new batch or adjust the characteristics in the configuration.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user attempting to make the change has the necessary permissions. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to obtain the required access.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to batch management and classification in the SAP system. If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to understand if there are any restrictions in place.
