• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CG010 - Action is only possible in the last opened graphic window ?

  The SAP error message CG010: Action is only possible in the last opened graphic window typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Graphics (CG) interface, particularly when working with graphical representations of data, such as in the SAP Production Planning (PP) or other modules that utilize graphical displays.
  Cause:
  This error message is triggered when a user attempts to perform an action (like editing, saving, or closing) in a graphic window that is not the most recently opened one. SAP allows multiple graphic windows to be open at the same time, but certain actions can only be performed in the last active window.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Last Opened Graphic Window: Make sure you are focused on the last opened graphic window. You can do this by clicking on the window you want to work with.
  
  
  Close Other Graphic Windows: If you have multiple graphic windows open, consider closing the ones you are not using. This can help ensure that you are working in the correct window.
  
  
  Reopen the Graphic: If you are unsure which window is the last opened, you can close all graphic windows and reopen the graphic you need to work with.
  
  
  Check for Modal Dialogs: Sometimes, modal dialogs (pop-up windows that require user interaction) can interfere with the focus on the graphic window. Ensure that no modal dialogs are open that might be preventing you from interacting with the graphic window.
  
  
  Refresh the Session: If the issue persists, try refreshing your SAP session or logging out and back in. This can sometimes clear up any session-related issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error. Sometimes, there may be known issues that have been addressed in newer versions or patches.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform actions in the graphic window. Lack of permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
  SAP GUI Version: Ensure that you are using a compatible version of the SAP GUI. Sometimes, using an outdated version can lead to unexpected errors.
