• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX_BIP029 - Status of billing plan only allowed in display mode ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX_BIP029, which states "Status of billing plan only allowed in display mode," typically occurs when you attempt to change or edit a billing plan that is in a status that does not permit modifications. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when the billing plan is already completed, or when it is in a status that restricts changes.
