  The SAP error message RSCRM137 ("You cannot save this type of query or view") typically occurs when you are trying to save a query or view in SAP that is not allowed due to certain restrictions or settings. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Query.
  Causes:
  
  Query Type Restrictions: The query you are trying to save may be of a type that is not permitted to be saved. For example, certain types of queries (like those based on InfoProviders that are not query-enabled) cannot be saved.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to save queries or views in the system.
  Technical Settings: The technical settings of the InfoProvider or the query may not allow saving. This can happen if the InfoProvider is set to "read-only" mode.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may have design issues, such as missing key figures or dimensions that prevent it from being saved.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Query Type: Ensure that the query you are trying to save is of a type that is allowed to be saved. If it is based on a non-query-enabled InfoProvider, consider redesigning the query.

  Examine Technical Settings: Check the technical settings of the InfoProvider or the query. Ensure that it is not set to "read-only" and that it is configured correctly for query usage.
  Correct Design Issues: Review the design of your query for any missing components. Ensure that all required key figures and dimensions are included and properly configured.
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like RSRT (Query Monitor) to test the query and see if it runs correctly before saving.
