• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XM223 - Job cannot be changed any more ?

  The SAP error message XM223 ("Job cannot be changed any more") typically occurs when you attempt to modify a job that has already been scheduled or has started executing. This error is common in the context of background job management in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Job Status: The job you are trying to change is in a status that does not allow modifications. For example, if the job is already released, scheduled, or has started executing, it cannot be changed.
