• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY079 - New bank master data cannot be created in this processing mode ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY079 - New bank master data cannot be created in this processing mode
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to create new bank master data in a processing mode that does not allow the creation of new entries. Typically, this happens if you are working in a mode intended only for changes or display, or if the system is set to a mode that restricts the creation of new bank master records.
  For example, in the SAP Bank Master Data maintenance transaction (such as FI01, FI02, FI03), if you try to create a new bank record while the system is in a mode that only allows changes or display, this error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the processing mode:
  
  Ensure you are in the correct transaction and mode for creating new bank master data. Use transaction FI01 (Create Bank) to create new bank master data.  
  
  FI01 = Create  
  FI02 = Change  
  FI03 = Display
  
  
  
  Verify user authorizations:
  
  Make sure your user has the necessary authorizations to create bank master data. Lack of authorization can sometimes cause the system to restrict creation.
  
  
  Check Customizing settings:
  
  In some cases, the system might be configured to restrict creation of bank master data in certain company codes or country-specific settings. Verify the configuration in IMG under:
  
  Financial Accounting (New) -> Bank Accounting -> Master Data -> Bank -> Define Bank Keys
  
  
  System mode or client settings:
  
  If you are working in a test or restricted client, or if the system is in a mode that restricts master data changes (e.g., a production system with restricted change modes), creation might be blocked.
