Chow -
Don't. The error checking is there for a reason. You can do spectacular damage to an SAP installation by directly editing table data. If you need to change the data, find the correct business transaction and use it - the debug method of using SE16 to modify data is just _wrong_, and should not even be attempted by anyone who isn't a bona fide expert.
Even if this is a sandbox system, don't fall for the temptation to use the SE16 shortcut. If the document doesn't have data you need to play with a certain scenario, then abandon it and create a new document that does.
