• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQ329 - No selections are allowed in display mode ?

  The SAP error message AQ329 "No selections are allowed in display mode" typically occurs when a user attempts to make selections or changes in a report or transaction that is currently in display mode. This error is common in various SAP modules, especially when dealing with reports or data displays where the system is set to read-only mode.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The primary cause of this error is that the user is in display mode, which does not allow for any modifications or selections.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to change the data or make selections in the current transaction.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions are designed to be viewed only, and any attempt to interact with them in a way that requires input will trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Change Mode: If you need to make selections or changes, switch from display mode to change mode. This can usually be done by selecting the appropriate option in the menu or toolbar (e.g., clicking on a "Change" button).
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to make changes in the transaction. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
  Review Transaction Documentation: Check the documentation or help files for the specific transaction you are using to understand its intended use and whether it allows for modifications.
  Use a Different Transaction: If the transaction is inherently read-only, consider using a different transaction that allows for the actions you need to perform.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to the transaction you are using. Sometimes, there may be known issues or fixes available.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the specific transactions they are using, including understanding when they are in display mode versus change mode.
