3057189 - Technical Error AP_ESI_COMMON 107; Report an Incident

Symptom

Either error appears while trying trying to update or save a document data:

Technical error AP_ESI_COMMON 107; report an incident
Changing data not possible; data is read-only.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign
SAP Cloud Applications Studio

Cause

This error message occurs when an Add-On is trying to modify an attribute (which could be an extension field) when the status of the document (e.g. posted, paid, canceled, in approval) does not allow any change on it.
At the time of the field update, the corresponding node where the field exists is set to read-only by the system, hence the error is displayed.

Resolution

Please follow KBA 2365114 - How to take trace in the Cloud Applications Studio SDK in order to understand which scripts are running during the issue being faced as one of them is making a change to an extension field.
The partner responsible for the Add-On must implement the necessary checks and validations on their script so it only modifies the extension fields when the document is in a writable state.

You may follow the guidelines from KBA: 2610403 - Extension Field For Sales or Service Order Cannot Be Updated on Item Level via your PDI solution
