  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GSINS/INSH_MSG312 - Not possible to change this record ?

    The SAP error message /GSINS/INSH_MSG312 with the description "Not possible to change this record" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Inventory Management or Logistics modules, particularly when dealing with records that are locked or have certain restrictions preventing changes.

    Causes:

    1. Record Locking: The record you are trying to change may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently using the record.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the record.
    3. Status of the Record: The record may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it could be marked as completed or archived).
    4. Data Consistency: There may be data consistency issues that prevent changes from being made.
    5. Custom Logic: There may be custom validations or logic implemented in the system that restricts changes to certain records.

    Solutions:

    1. Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the record. If another user is locking the record, you may need to wait until they release it.
    2. Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to change the record. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
    3. Check Record Status: Verify the status of the record. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status first or consult with your process owner.
    4. Data Consistency Check: Run any relevant consistency checks or reports to identify and resolve data issues.
    5. Consult Custom Logic: If there are custom developments in your SAP system, check with your ABAP team or developers to see if there are any custom validations that might be causing the issue.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to check locks), SU53 (to check authorization issues), and SE11 (to check table definitions).
    • SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to this error message in the SAP Support Portal. There may be specific notes addressing this issue or providing additional troubleshooting steps.
    • Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., Inventory Management) to understand the business processes and restrictions that may apply.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with SAP support for further assistance.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
