• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADQA147 - Cannot delete data in display mode ?

  The SAP error message HRPADQA147: "Cannot delete data in display mode" typically occurs when a user attempts to delete or modify data in a transaction or report that is currently in display mode. This means that the system is set to view-only mode, and any attempts to change or delete data will result in this error.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is in a transaction or report that is set to display mode, which does not allow for data modification or deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete data, even if they are in the correct mode.
  System Settings: Certain configurations in the system may restrict data deletion based on the status of the data or the transaction being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Change Mode: 
  
  If you need to delete or modify data, ensure that you are in change mode. Look for an option to switch from display mode to change mode (often a button labeled "Change" or "Edit").
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: 
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to delete data. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to ensure you have the correct permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings: 
  
  Some transactions may have specific settings that prevent deletion. Review the transaction documentation or consult with your SAP functional team to understand any restrictions.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: 
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for the action you want to perform. Some transactions are specifically designed for display, while others allow for changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
