• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM615 - Before executing the function please leave the detail screen ?

  The SAP error message BOM615 ("Before executing the function please leave the detail screen") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action in the Bill of Materials (BOM) transaction while still in a detail screen or sub-screen. This error is a prompt from the system indicating that the user needs to exit the detail view before proceeding with the intended function.
  Cause:
  
  Detail Screen Active: The user is currently in a detail screen (e.g., editing a specific BOM item) and has not exited or saved the changes.
  Incomplete Navigation: The user may have navigated to a detail screen without completing the necessary steps to return to the main screen.
  System Restrictions: Certain functions in SAP require the user to be on the main screen to execute them, and being in a detail screen violates this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Exit the Detail Screen: The primary solution is to exit the detail screen. You can do this by:
  
  Clicking the "Back" button (usually represented by a left arrow) to return to the previous screen.
  Saving any changes if prompted, or canceling if you do not wish to save.
  
  
  
  Check for Unsaved Changes: If you have made changes in the detail screen, ensure that you either save those changes or discard them before trying to execute the function again.
  
  
  Use the Menu Navigation: Instead of using the function buttons, navigate through the SAP menu to return to the main screen of the BOM transaction.
  
  
  Refresh the Screen: Sometimes, refreshing the screen or logging out and back in can help resolve temporary glitches.
