• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMPP020 - Version & is frozen. Only display mode possible. ?

  The SAP error message FMPP020 indicates that a particular version of a financial master data object (like a cost center, internal order, etc.) is frozen, meaning that it cannot be modified or updated. This typically occurs in the context of financial planning or budgeting processes where certain versions are locked to prevent changes after a certain point in time.
  Cause:
  
  Version Locking: The version in question has been set to a "frozen" state, often after a planning cycle has been completed or a budget has been finalized.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to automatically freeze versions after a certain date or event.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify the version, even if it is not frozen.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Version Status: Verify the status of the version in the relevant transaction (e.g., KP06 for cost centers). If it is indeed frozen, you will need to create a new version for any modifications.
  Create a New Version: If changes are necessary, create a new version that is not frozen. This can usually be done in the planning transaction by copying the existing version to a new one.
  Unfreeze the Version: If you have the necessary permissions and it is appropriate to do so, you may be able to unfreeze the version. This typically requires administrative access and should be done with caution, as it may affect reporting and planning.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on version management to understand the implications of freezing and unfreezing versions.
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unsure about the process or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for assistance.
