  The SAP error message FAA_CMP002, which states "Switch to display mode not possible; activity canceled," typically occurs in the context of the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when a user attempts to switch from edit mode to display mode for asset master data or transactions. This error can arise due to various reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to switch to display mode for the asset or transaction.
  Data Locking: The asset or transaction might be locked by another user or process, preventing the switch to display mode.
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data in the asset master record that prevents the system from switching modes.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may restrict the ability to switch modes based on specific conditions or statuses of the asset.
  Transaction Errors: There may be errors in the transaction that need to be resolved before switching modes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view the asset in display mode. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with the security team.
  Release Locks: If the asset is locked, identify the user or process that has locked it and request them to release the lock. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Review Asset Data: Check the asset master data for completeness and correctness. Ensure that all required fields are filled out and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the switch to display mode.
  Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or logs that may provide additional context about why the switch to display mode is failing. This can be done using transaction SLG1 (Application Log).
  Restart the Transaction: Sometimes, simply exiting the transaction and re-entering can resolve temporary issues.
