• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_TRANSP071 - Queue is in display mode; to change, choose "Execution Mode" ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_TRANSP071 indicates that the transport queue is currently in display mode, which means that you cannot make changes or execute any actions that require modification of the queue. This is a common situation when working with transport management in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the transport queue is opened in display mode. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user does not have the necessary authorizations to change the transport queue.
  The transport management system (TMS) is configured to restrict certain actions.
  The transport queue is being viewed in a mode that does not allow modifications.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to switch the transport queue from display mode to execution mode. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Transport Organizer:
  
  Go to transaction code SE09 or SE10 in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Select the Transport Queue:
  
  Find the transport request or task that you want to work with.
  
  
  
  Change to Execution Mode:
  
  Look for an option or button that allows you to switch from display mode to execution mode. This is typically labeled as "Execution Mode" or similar.
  If you do not see this option, it may be due to authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the transport queue. You may need to contact your SAP Basis administrator to grant you the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Refresh the Queue:
  
  After switching to execution mode, refresh the transport queue to ensure that you can now perform the necessary actions.
