• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CCM106 - Save not possible in display mode ?

  The SAP error message CCM106: Save not possible in display mode typically occurs when a user attempts to save changes in a transaction or application that is currently in display mode rather than edit mode. This is a common issue in SAP systems where certain transactions or screens are designed to allow only viewing of data without the ability to make changes.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is in display mode, which means they can view the data but cannot make any modifications.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the data, leading to the system preventing any save actions.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions are configured to be read-only for certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: If you need to make changes, ensure that you switch from display mode to edit mode. This can usually be done by selecting an "Edit" button or option in the menu.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to edit the data. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to ensure your user role has the appropriate permissions.
  Transaction Configuration: If the transaction is intended to be in display mode for your user role, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator to understand the configuration and whether changes can be made to allow editing.
  Use the Correct Transaction Code: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code that allows editing. Some codes may have different modes (e.g., display vs. change).
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues related to the transaction you are using. Sometimes, there are known issues or patches that can resolve specific problems.
  User Documentation: Refer to the user documentation for the specific SAP module you are working with to understand the expected behavior of the transaction.
