  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CLP056 Processing only possible in change mode typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires change mode access, but they are currently in display mode. This error is common when working with planning books, data views, or other components where modifications are necessary.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user is trying to execute a function that modifies data (such as saving changes, creating new entries, or updating existing ones) while the system is set to display mode. In display mode, users can view data but cannot make any changes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to switch to change mode. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Switch to Change Mode: 
  
  If you are in a planning book or a similar interface, look for an option or button that allows you to switch from display mode to change mode. This is often labeled as "Change" or "Edit."
  In some cases, you may need to navigate to a different transaction or screen that allows for changes.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: 
  
  Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to make changes in the system. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your system administrator to grant you the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Session Management: 
  
  If you are working in a session that was opened in display mode, you may need to close that session and reopen it in change mode.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  If you are using specific transaction codes, ensure that you are using the correct one that allows for changes. For example, using /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning book maintenance should be done in change mode.
