The material cannot be maintained for the maintenance statuses specified

<DS:GLOS.organizational_level>organizational levels</> and data fields
specified, or <DS:GLOS.user_department>user departments</> selected.
You can therefore process this data only in <LS>Create</> mode.
By extending it
However, you have already fully created the material master record for
the organizational levels and data fields specified, or user
departments selected. You can therefore process this data only in
<LS>Change</> mode.
