• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF384 - Display mode only ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF384 Display mode only typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) in SAP. This error indicates that the application is currently in display mode, and therefore, no changes can be made to the data being viewed.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The application is set to display mode, which means that the user is not allowed to make any modifications to the data. This can happen if the user is accessing a view or transaction that is intended only for viewing purposes.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform changes, leading the system to restrict access to display mode.
  Configuration Settings: The BOPF configuration may be set to restrict certain operations based on the business logic defined in the application.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: If you need to make changes, ensure that you are in the correct mode. Look for an option to switch from display mode to edit mode within the application.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the required actions. You may need to contact your SAP security team to ensure your user role has the appropriate permissions.
  Review BOPF Configuration: If you have access to the BOPF configuration, check the settings to see if there are any restrictions that prevent editing. This may involve looking at the BOPF business object and its associated actions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific application or business object you are working with for more detailed guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOPF Framework: Understanding the Business Object Processing Framework can help in troubleshooting issues related to business objects and their states (display, edit, etc.).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in navigating or troubleshooting BOPF-related issues (e.g., /BOBF/CONF for configuration).
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
