  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction code that supports the display of loaded orders. If you are unsure, consult your SAP documentation or your system administrator.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to access Expert Mode and view loaded orders. If not, you may need to contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP Help documentation or your organization’s internal documentation for more details on how to work with loaded orders and the specific requirements for Expert Mode.
