• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E8016 - Only saved data is printed ?

  The SAP error message E8016 "Only saved data is printed" typically occurs when you attempt to print a document or report in SAP that has not been saved or finalized. This message indicates that the system will only print data that has been saved in the database, and any unsaved changes will not be included in the printout.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The most common cause of this error is that the document or report you are trying to print has not been saved. This can happen if you have made changes but have not executed the save function.
  Transaction State: The transaction may be in a state that does not allow printing until it is saved.
  User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict the ability to print unsaved data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save the Document: Before attempting to print, ensure that you save the document or report. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your changes.
  Check Transaction Status: Make sure that the transaction is in a state that allows printing. If you are in a draft or temporary state, you may need to finalize it first.
  Review User Permissions: If you believe you should be able to print unsaved data, check with your SAP administrator to ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions.
  Reopen the Document: If you have saved the document but still encounter issues, try closing and reopening the document to refresh the session.
