• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TT094 - Function cannot be performed in display mode ?

  The SAP error message TT094 ("Function cannot be performed in display mode") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a function or transaction that is not allowed in display mode. This can happen in various SAP modules, such as when trying to edit or save data while in a display-only view.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is currently in display mode, which restricts certain actions like editing, saving, or executing specific functions.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action in the current mode.
  Transaction Settings: Some transactions are designed to be executed only in change mode, and attempting to perform them in display mode will trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Change Mode: If you need to perform an action that requires editing, switch from display mode to change mode. This can usually be done by selecting the "Change" button or option in the SAP GUI.
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate access.
  Review Transaction Documentation: Check the documentation or help for the specific transaction you are using to understand its requirements and limitations.
  Use the Correct Transaction Code: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code for the action you want to perform. Some transactions have specific codes for display and change modes (e.g., SE11 for display vs. SE11 for change).
