    SAP Error Message: WX006
    Text: The trans.-dependent field selection cannot be updated in client &
    
    Cause
    This error occurs when you try to change or update a transaction-dependent field selection in a client where such changes are not allowed. In SAP, certain field selections are client-dependent, while others are transaction-dependent. The system restricts updates to transaction-dependent field selections in certain clients (usually in production or non-development clients) to maintain data consistency and system integrity.
    More specifically:
    
    Transaction-dependent field selections are settings that control the behavior of fields (e.g., whether a field is optional, mandatory, or suppressed) depending on the transaction code.
    These settings are usually maintained in the client where the customizing is done (typically the development client).
    Attempting to change these settings in a client where they are not allowed (e.g., production client) triggers this error.
