  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message U6083 - You cannot use the special entry mode ?

    The SAP error message U6083, which states "You cannot use the special entry mode," typically occurs in the context of data entry in SAP, particularly when users are trying to enter data in a way that is not permitted by the system configuration or the current transaction.

    Cause:

    1. Transaction Restrictions: The transaction you are using may not support special entry modes. Special entry modes are often used for specific types of data entry, and not all transactions allow for this.
    2. User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to use special entry modes in the transaction.
    3. Configuration Settings: The system configuration may not be set up to allow special entry modes for the specific transaction or data field.
    4. Field Attributes: The field you are trying to enter data into may have attributes that do not allow special entry modes.

    Solution:

    1. Check Transaction Compatibility: Verify if the transaction you are using supports special entry modes. If it does not, you will need to enter data using the standard entry method.
    2. Review User Authorizations: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to use special entry modes. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your authorizations.
    3. Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to configuration settings, check if the special entry mode is enabled for the transaction or field in question. This may require assistance from an SAP Basis or configuration consultant.
    4. Use Standard Entry Method: If special entry mode is not available, revert to using the standard data entry method for the transaction.
