• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMK128 - Drag&Drop is not possible in the display mode ?

  The SAP error message UMK128, which states "Drag&Drop is not possible in the display mode," typically occurs when a user attempts to use the drag-and-drop functionality in a context where it is not allowed, specifically when the application is in display mode rather than edit mode.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The primary cause of this error is that the user is trying to perform a drag-and-drop operation while the application is in display mode. In this mode, the data is not editable, and certain interactive features, like drag-and-drop, are disabled.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to switch to edit mode or to perform drag-and-drop actions.
  Application Configuration: The specific SAP application or module may have been configured to restrict drag-and-drop functionality in display mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Edit Mode: If you need to perform a drag-and-drop operation, switch the application to edit mode. Look for an "Edit" button or option in the user interface.
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to edit the data. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator to request access.
  Consult Documentation: Review the specific SAP module's documentation or help resources to understand the limitations of drag-and-drop functionality in that context.
  Use Alternative Methods: If drag-and-drop is not possible, consider using alternative methods to achieve your goal, such as copy-pasting or using menu options to move data.
