• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECABC035 - Changes are not allowed in display mode ?

  The SAP error message RECABC035: Changes are not allowed in display mode typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a document or record that is currently opened in display mode rather than in edit mode. This is a common issue in SAP systems where certain transactions or screens are designed to allow only viewing of data without the ability to modify it.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is viewing a document or record in display mode, which restricts any changes.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the document or record.
  System Settings: The system may be configured to restrict changes to certain documents or records based on their status or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: If you need to make changes, ensure that you are in edit mode. Look for an "Edit" button or option in the menu to switch from display mode to edit mode.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to edit the document. If not, contact your SAP administrator to request the appropriate authorizations.
  Document Status: Check the status of the document. Some documents may be locked for editing due to their current status (e.g., completed, approved, etc.). If this is the case, you may need to follow the appropriate process to unlock or change the status.
  Transaction Code: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code that allows editing. Some transaction codes are specifically for display purposes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines for specific procedures related to the document or record you are trying to edit.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or module you are working with.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the differences between display and edit modes in SAP to avoid confusion.
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to review system configurations or settings that may be affecting document editing capabilities.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after trying these solutions, it may be helpful to provide specific details about the transaction or document you are working with to get more targeted assistance.
