• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL102 - If you press ENTER, the existing entry will be changed ?

  The SAP error message FL102, which states "If you press ENTER, the existing entry will be changed," typically occurs in the context of data entry in SAP, particularly when you are trying to modify an existing record. This message serves as a warning that if you proceed by pressing ENTER, the current entry will be updated with the new data you have entered.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Mode: You are in a mode where you are attempting to change an existing record rather than creating a new one.
  Field Modification: You have made changes to a field that is already populated, and the system is alerting you that these changes will overwrite the existing data.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are using may not allow for the creation of new entries if an existing one is found.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Your Intent: If you intended to change the existing entry, you can proceed by pressing ENTER. Ensure that the changes you are making are correct.
  Cancel Changes: If you did not intend to modify the existing entry, you can cancel the changes by either:
  
  Pressing the "Cancel" button (if available).
  Navigating away from the field or transaction without pressing ENTER.
  
  
  Create a New Entry: If you want to create a new entry instead of modifying the existing one, look for an option to create a new record (often a button labeled "New" or "Create") or clear the fields before entering new data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transaction codes where data entry is involved, such as creating or modifying master data (e.g., vendor, customer, material).
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the specific transaction they are using, including how to create new entries versus modifying existing ones.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for the specific module you are working in for more detailed guidance on data entry and error handling.
  
  If the issue persists or if you encounter further complications, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific transaction or module you are using.
