  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.
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  When you try to change field selection settings via transaction OBA7 (or similar customizing transactions) in a client where the system does not allow such changes.
  When you try to transport or manually adjust transaction-dependent field selections in a non-development client.
  When the system is configured to prevent changes to these settings outside the customizing/development client.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Perform changes in the correct client:
  
  Make sure you perform all transaction-dependent field selection changes in the development client or the client designated for customizing.
  After making changes, transport them to other clients (e.g., quality assurance, production).
  
  
  
  Check client settings:
  
  Verify the client settings in transaction SCC4.
  The client where you want to make changes should be set as a customizing client (flag "Customizing" enabled).
  If the client is a production or test client, changes to customizing objects like field selections are usually not allowed.
  
  
  
  Transport changes properly:
  
  Use the standard SAP transport mechanism to move changes from the development client to other clients.
  Do not attempt to manually change these settings in production or test clients.
  
  
  
  If urgent changes are needed in production:
  
  Consult your SAP Basis and Change Management team.
  Usually, changes should be done in development and transported.
  Direct changes in production are discouraged and may require special authorization or procedures.
