  Error Message
  WRF_APC683: Do not change &2 for items created from Layout Workbench
  
  &2 is a placeholder for the field or object name that you attempted to change.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to modify certain fields or attributes of items that were originally created using the Layout Workbench in SAP. The Layout Workbench is a tool used to design and configure layouts, such as forms, reports, or other structured objects.
  Items created via the Layout Workbench have specific dependencies and internal consistency rules. Changing certain fields directly on these items can break the integrity of the layout or cause inconsistencies in the system.
  Therefore, SAP restricts changes to these fields to ensure the stability and correctness of the layout objects.
  
  Typical Scenarios
  
  Attempting to change key attributes (like item type, reference, or other structural fields) of layout items that were created in the Layout Workbench.
  Trying to edit layout elements directly in tables or transactions where such changes are not allowed.
  Modifying layout-related objects outside the Layout Workbench environment.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Do Not Change Restricted Fields Directly:
  
  Avoid changing the fields indicated by the error message for items created in the Layout Workbench.
  
  
  
  Use the Layout Workbench for Changes:
  
  If you need to modify the layout item, open the Layout Workbench tool and make the changes there.
  The Layout Workbench ensures that all dependencies and consistency checks are handled properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization and Process:
  
  Ensure you have the correct authorization to make changes in the Layout Workbench.
  Follow the standard process for modifying layout items.
  
  
  
  If Changes Are Necessary Outside Layout Workbench:
  
  Consult with your SAP technical team or Basis team.
  Sometimes, changes outside the Layout Workbench require custom development or specific SAP notes.
  
  
  
  Review SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Service Marketplace or SAP ONE Support Launchpad for any notes related to message WRF_APC683.
  SAP may provide patches or additional guidance.
