• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PEP063 - You cannot save in the display mode ?

  The SAP error message PEP063, which states "You cannot save in the 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 issue in SAP systems when users are trying to modify data but are not in the correct mode to do so.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is viewing the data in display mode, which is intended for viewing only and does not allow for any modifications.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the data, leading to the system preventing any save actions.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions are configured to open in display mode by default, which can lead to this error if the user is unaware.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: 
  
  If you need to make changes, look for an "Edit" button or option in the menu. This will switch the transaction from display mode to edit mode, allowing you to make and save changes.
  In some cases, you may need to navigate back to the initial screen and select the appropriate option to open the transaction in edit mode.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to edit the data. If you suspect that your user role does not allow for editing, contact your SAP administrator to review and adjust your authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Configuration: 
  
  If you are consistently encountering this issue with a specific transaction, it may be worth checking with your SAP support team to see if there are any settings that can be adjusted to allow for editing.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction Code: 
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction code that allows for editing. Some codes are specifically for display purposes.
