• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_IOA023 - You cannot save in display mode ?

  The SAP error message FVD_IOA023 ("You cannot save 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 restriction in SAP to prevent unintended modifications to data that should only be viewed.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is in display mode, which is intended for viewing data only. In this mode, the system does not allow any changes to be saved.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the data, leading to the system defaulting to display mode.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions are configured to open in display mode by default based on user roles or settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: 
  
  If you need to make changes, ensure that you switch to edit mode. This can usually be done by clicking on an "Edit" button or selecting an option from the menu that allows you to change the mode.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to edit the data. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator to request the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  If the transaction is set to open in display mode by default, you may need to check with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for the configuration of that transaction to see if it can be changed.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction Code:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for the action you want to perform. Some codes are specifically for display purposes, while others allow for editing.
