  The SAP error message BT552 ("Only possible to display object &1 in client &2") typically occurs when you attempt to access or modify an object (like a business partner, material, etc.) in a client where the object is not available for editing or is restricted to display mode only. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Client-Specific Data: The object you are trying to access may only exist in a specific client, and you are currently logged into a different client.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the object in the current client.

  Check Client: Ensure that you are logged into the correct client where the object exists. You can switch clients using the transaction code SCC4 to check client settings.
  Authorization Check: Verify that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to edit the object. You can check this with your SAP security administrator.
  Object Status: Review the status of the object to see if it is set to display-only. If it is, you may need to change its status or consult with the relevant team to understand why it is restricted.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific object type you are working with for additional guidance.
