• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL_SD057 - Selected lines are in display mode ?

  The SAP error message MILL_SD057: Selected lines are in display mode typically occurs when you are trying to perform an action (like editing or deleting) on a line item in a transaction that is currently in display mode. This means that the system is not allowing changes to be made to those specific line items because they are not in an editable state.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The transaction or document you are working with is opened in display mode, which restricts any modifications.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to edit the document.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed, posted, or locked).
  Transaction Type: Certain transactions are designed to be viewed only and do not allow editing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Change Mode: If you have the necessary permissions, switch the transaction from display mode to change mode. This can usually be done by selecting the appropriate option in the menu or toolbar.
  Check Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to edit the document. You may need to contact your SAP administrator to verify or update your permissions.
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the document. If it is locked or completed, you may need to take additional steps to unlock it or create a new document if changes are not allowed.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code that allows editing. If you are in a report or display transaction, you may need to navigate to the appropriate change transaction.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues related to the transaction you are using. Sometimes, there are known issues or patches that can resolve specific problems.
  User Documentation: Refer to the user documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management) to understand the expected behavior of the transaction.
  Training: If you are frequently encountering this issue, consider additional training on the specific SAP module to better understand how to navigate and use the system effectively.
