  The SAP error message XM207 ("Job cannot be changed any more") typically occurs when you attempt to modify a job that has already been scheduled or has reached a certain status in the job management process. This error is common in the context of background job processing in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Job Status: The job you are trying to change may have already been released, started, or completed. Once a job reaches a certain status, it cannot be modified.
