  The SAP error message WTRA016 - Saving of data record not permitted typically occurs in the context of SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) or related modules when an attempt is made to save a data record that is not allowed due to certain system or business logic restrictions.
  
  Cause
  The error WTRA016 usually arises because:
  
  The data record you are trying to save is in a status or condition that does not permit changes or saving.
  The system settings or customizing restrict saving for certain types of records or under certain conditions.
  There might be missing or incorrect mandatory data fields that prevent the record from being saved.
  The user does not have the necessary authorizations to save or change the record.
  The record is locked by another user or process.
  The business transaction or document is already finalized or posted, and changes are no longer allowed.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WTRA016 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Record:

  If the record is finalized or posted, you may need to reverse or cancel it before making changes.
  
  
  
  Verify Mandatory Fields:
  
  Ensure all required fields are correctly filled.
  Missing mandatory data can prevent saving.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Confirm that your user role has the necessary permissions to save or modify the record.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error to check for authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to see if the record is locked by another user or process.
  If locked, coordinate with the user or release the lock if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing and Business Rules:
  
  Check if there are any custom validations or user exits that prevent saving under certain conditions.
  Consult with your SAP TRM functional consultant or developer.
