  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC680 Purchasing List &1: Only display possible, see appl. log for details
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when you try to change or edit a purchasing list (or a related planning document) that is currently locked or in a status that only allows display (read-only) mode.
  The system restricts modifications because:
  
  The purchasing list is locked by another user or process.
  The purchasing list is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., already released, confirmed, or processed).
  There are inconsistencies or errors detected in the background that prevent editing.
  The system is configured to allow only display for certain types of purchasing lists or under certain conditions.
  
  The message advises you to check the application log for more detailed information about why the list is locked or restricted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Application Log:
  
  Use transaction SLG1 (Application Log) to view detailed logs related to the purchasing list.
  Enter the relevant object and sub-object (e.g., APO or SCM related objects) or use the purchasing list number to filter logs.
  Analyze the log entries to identify the exact reason for the restriction.
  
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
  
  Verify if the purchasing list is locked by another user or process.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for lock entries on the purchasing list.
  If appropriate, coordinate with the user holding the lock or wait until the lock is released.
  
  
  
  Check Status of the Purchasing List:
  
  Review the status of the purchasing list in the system.
  If the list is in a status that disallows changes, you may need to reverse or reset the status (if business process allows) or create a new purchasing list.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing and Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that your user has the necessary authorizations to edit the purchasing list.
  Check if any custom settings or user exits restrict editing under certain conditions.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Copy Purchasing List:
  
  If editing is not possible, consider creating a new purchasing list or copying the existing one for changes.
