• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDESK_CORE196 - Object is not saved yet; document cannot be created ?

  The SAP error message EDESK_CORE196: Object is not saved yet; document cannot be created typically occurs in the context of document management or when working with objects that need to be saved before further actions can be taken. This error indicates that the system is trying to create a document related to an object that has not yet been saved in the database.
  Causes:
  
  Unsaved Object: The primary cause of this error is that the object (e.g., a purchase order, sales order, or any other transactional object) has not been saved yet. The system requires the object to be saved before it can create any associated documents.
  Session Timeout: If the session has timed out or if there was a disruption in the transaction process, the object may not have been saved properly.
  Validation Errors: There may be validation errors preventing the object from being saved, which in turn prevents the creation of the document.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations may prevent the object from being saved.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Save the Object: Ensure that the object you are working with is saved before attempting to create the document. Look for a "Save" button or option in the interface and confirm that the object is saved successfully.
  Check for Errors: Review any error messages or warnings that may appear when trying to save the object. Resolve any issues that are preventing the save operation.
  Session Management: If you suspect a session timeout, try logging out and logging back in, or refreshing the session to ensure that the object is properly saved.
  Review Authorizations: Check if you have the necessary authorizations to save the object. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using transaction codes like ST22 (Dump Analysis) or SLG1 (Application Log) to check for any underlying issues that may be causing the error.
