  The SAP error message LTR2_UI_SELECTION006 ("Dropping is only allowed if object is in edit mode") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) Replication Server or when working with the Data Transfer Process (DTP) in SAP BW. This error indicates that you are trying to drop an object (like a field or a selection) from a selection screen or a data model, but the object is not currently in edit mode.
  Cause:
  
  Not in Edit Mode: The primary cause of this error is that the object you are trying to modify (drop) is not in edit mode. In many SAP applications, certain actions can only be performed when the object is actively being edited.

  Solution:
  
  Enter Edit Mode: Ensure that you are in edit mode for the object you are trying to modify. Look for an "Edit" button or option in the user interface and activate it.
  Check Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to edit the object. If not, contact your system administrator to grant you the required access.
  Release Locks: If the object is locked, check if another user is currently editing it. You may need to wait until they finish or contact them to release the lock.
  Refresh the Session: Sometimes, simply refreshing the session or logging out and back in can resolve temporary issues related to the user interface.
