  The SAP error message GLE_PER_ECS_ACP_VIM021, which states that the "Add Entries" function can be used in transport mode only, typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when users attempt to perform an action that is restricted to a specific mode of operation, particularly in the context of transport requests.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Mode Requirement: The error indicates that the action you are trying to perform (adding entries) is only allowed when the system is in transport mode. This is often related to configuration or customization activities that need to be transported between different SAP environments (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).

  Solution:
  
  Switch to Transport Mode: Ensure that you are in the correct transport mode. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction code SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests.
  Creating or selecting a transport request before attempting to add entries.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions in transport mode. If you lack the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator.
  Review Configuration: If you are working on a specific configuration or customization, ensure that it is intended to be done in transport mode. Sometimes, certain configurations are meant to be done in a specific environment.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or functionality you are working with to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
