• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLDLG328 - You are working in display mode, changes will not be transferred ?

  The SAP error message FRMLDLG328, which states "You are working in display mode, changes will not be transferred," typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a document or data in SAP while in display mode. This means that the system is set to only allow viewing of the data, not editing.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is currently in display mode for a transaction or document, which prevents any modifications.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to edit the document or data.
  Transaction Settings: The transaction may be configured to open in display mode by default.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed or locked).
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Change Mode: If you need to make changes, exit the display mode and enter the transaction in change mode. This can usually be done by selecting the appropriate option in the menu or using a different transaction code that allows editing.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to edit the document. If not, contact your SAP administrator to request the required permissions.
  Review Transaction Settings: If the transaction is always opening in display mode, check if there are any settings or parameters that need to be adjusted to allow for change mode.
  Document Status: Verify the status of the document. If it is locked or completed, you may need to follow the appropriate process to unlock or change its status before making edits.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes for both display and change modes (e.g., VA03 for display sales order and VA02 for change).
  User Roles: Understand the roles and authorizations assigned to your user profile in SAP, as these can affect your ability to edit documents.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal for any specific notes related to the error message or the transaction you are working with.
  Training: If you frequently encounter this issue, consider additional training on the specific SAP module you are using to better understand how to navigate between display and change modes.
