  The SAP error message UPB458 indicates that there is an issue with the parameter I_MODE in a process related to the SAP Business Planning (BPC) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) environment. The error specifically states that the I_MODE parameter must be set to either 'N' (New) or 'A' (All).
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs when a function or method is called with an invalid value for the I_MODE parameter. This parameter is expected to control the mode of operation for the function, and it must be explicitly set to either 'N' for creating new entries or 'A' for processing all entries.

  If you want to create new entries, set I_MODE to 'N'.
  If you want to process all entries, set I_MODE to 'A'.
  
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the parameter is being set, you may need to debug the program or process to trace the value of I_MODE and identify where it is being incorrectly assigned.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the relevant SAP documentation or function module documentation to understand the expected values and usage of the I_MODE parameter.
