The entry cannot be created.

It means the value you are trying to change is not falling in the range of the value entered in the option Enter Conditions.

Yes, this is a standard behavior. SM30 does not allow you to copy an entry to another entry whose key does not fall within the range you selected when maintaining with "Enter conditions" options.

What you can do is to maintain with no restrictions and use the position button to select the entries you want to ccpy and change.

To add to Vishnu's helpful answer:

You may overcome the inconvenience of having all entries displayed by going to the "Selection" menu (from within the maintenance view) and clicking "By Contents..." enter your selection criteria there and click "Choose."

This will display only the entries you want to see to make "Select All" copying easier without limiting the work area.
