• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0637 - Function cannot be executed - data is display-only ?

  The SAP error message G0637, which states "Function cannot be executed - data is display-only," typically occurs when you attempt to perform an action on a screen or transaction that is in display mode, meaning that the data cannot be modified or updated. This can happen in various SAP modules, including Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), and others.
  
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The transaction or screen you are trying to access is set to display mode, which means that it is intended only for viewing data and not for editing.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the data, leading to the system restricting access to display-only mode.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions are designed to be display-only based on the configuration or the specific context in which they are being accessed.
  Data Locking: The data you are trying to modify may be locked by another user or process, preventing any changes.
