  Cause:
  The error message WP761 typically occurs in SAP Project System (PS) or related modules when you attempt to postpone (reschedule) a document or an activity, but the system determines that postponing is not possible. This can happen due to several reasons, such as:

  The document is locked or has status settings that disallow postponement.
  The scheduling logic or constraints in the system do not allow the new proposed dates.
  Dependencies or relationships with other documents or activities prevent postponement.
  The document is in a status that does not permit date changes (e.g., already settled or closed).
