• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPWB058 - Web interface &1 is opened in display mode ?

  The SAP error message UPWB058 indicates that a web interface (specifically a web-based application or report) is opened in display mode, which means that the user is unable to make changes or perform certain actions that require edit permissions. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or similar applications where users interact with web interfaces.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The web interface is intentionally opened in display mode, which restricts editing capabilities.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to edit the data or the specific application.
  Configuration Settings: The application or report may be configured to open in display mode by default.
  Session Management: Another user might have the same interface open in a different session, which can sometimes lock the interface for editing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to edit the data. This may involve checking user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Open in Edit Mode: If the application allows it, try to open the interface in edit mode explicitly. This may involve selecting an option or link that indicates "Edit" rather than "Display."
  Close Other Sessions: If another user has the interface open, coordinate with them to close their session or check if the system allows multiple users to edit simultaneously.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings of the application to determine if it can be set to open in edit mode by default.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Help Portal for further assistance.
