  WZRE_IDOC016 - An IDoc with status &1 cannot be changed
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to modify an IDoc that is currently in a status which does not allow changes. In SAP, IDocs (Intermediate Documents) have specific statuses that indicate their processing stage. Some statuses are "locked" or "closed" states where the IDoc is considered processed or in a state that prohibits further modifications.
  For example, if the IDoc status is 03 (Data passed to port OK), 12 (Dispatch OK), 53 (Application document posted), or any other status that indicates the IDoc has been processed or is in transit, SAP will prevent changes to maintain data integrity.
  
  Common Statuses that Prevent Changes:
  
  03 - Data passed to port OK
  12 - Dispatch OK
  30 - IDoc ready for dispatch
  53 - Application document posted
  64 - IDoc ready for archiving
