No display possible," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when trying to display a document (like a sales order, delivery, or invoice) that is not yet fully processed or completed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incomplete Document Processing: The document you are trying to access has not been fully processed. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The document is still in the process of being created or updated.
  There are missing mandatory fields or data that need to be filled in before the document can be considered complete.
  The document is in a status that does not allow it to be displayed (e.g., it is still being edited).
  
  
  
  System Locking: The document might be locked by another user or process, preventing it from being displayed.
  
  
  Background Jobs: If the document is being processed by a background job, it may not be available for display until that job is completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document. If it is still being processed, wait until the processing is complete.
