Can Only Be Called in Display Mode," typically occurs when you are trying to access or execute a route in SAP that is currently inactive. This can happen in various contexts, such as in logistics, transportation management, or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Route: The primary cause of this error is that the route you are trying to access has been set to an inactive status. This means that the route cannot be used for processing transactions or planning activities.
  Configuration Changes: The route may have been deactivated due to changes in configuration or business processes.
  User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict access to certain routes, but this is less common for this specific error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Route Status: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., transaction code OVT0 for route maintenance).
  Search for the route using the route number (represented by &1 in the error message).
  Verify the status of the route. If it is inactive, you will need to activate it.

  Review Documentation: 
  
  Check any documentation or change logs to understand why the route was deactivated. This may provide insights into whether it should be reactivated or if there are alternative routes to use.

  Related Information:
