• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QIE_FINDING002 - No change possible; finding &1 is in display mode ?

  The SAP error message QIE_FINDING002 indicates that a finding (usually related to quality management or inspection results) is currently in display mode, which means that no changes can be made to it. This typically occurs when a user attempts to edit or modify a finding that is not in an editable state.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The finding is opened in display mode, which is intended for viewing only. This can happen if the user has accessed the finding through a display transaction or if the finding is locked for editing by another user.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to edit the finding.
  Status of the Finding: The finding may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it has been finalized or closed).
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: If you have the necessary permissions, try to open the finding in edit mode. This can usually be done by selecting the appropriate option in the transaction or by using a different transaction code that allows editing.
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that you have the required authorizations to edit findings. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  Check the Status: Review the status of the finding. If it is finalized or closed, you may need to follow your organization's procedures for reopening or modifying such findings.
