Example:

DistributionChannel and Sales_Organization_ID is marked as updatable=false in the metadata of the service Product. The exported file has Product Sales data with Distribution_Channel code as 02 and the Sales_Organization_ID XXXXX in the system. But with the Update task, you tried to update the Distribution Channel code as 01 and further update the Sales_Organization_ID to YYYYY. That is, you updated the value of property DistributionChannel and SalesOrganizationID which is marked as updatable=false due to which the update failed with error.

The fields which are marked as updatable=false will not be allowed to update via Data Workbench.
