TN044 - Details

• The SAP error message TN044, which states "Only display functions are available," typically occurs in the context of transaction codes or functions that are intended for display purposes only. This message indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform any actions other than viewing data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the user lacks the required authorizations to execute certain functions or transactions. This can happen if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to access may be designed only for display purposes. For example, some reports or data views are intentionally set up to prevent changes to the underlying data.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system may be configured to restrict certain actions based on specific criteria, such as user roles or system settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
