• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMPP201 - Close the 'Display Budget Text' window first ?

  The SAP error message FMPP201: "Close the 'Display Budget Text' window first" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action in the SAP system while a modal dialog box (in this case, the "Display Budget Text" window) is still open. This can prevent the system from processing the next action because it requires the user to first close the open dialog.
  Cause:
  
  Open Modal Dialog: The error is caused by an open modal dialog box that requires user interaction. In this case, the "Display Budget Text" window is still open, and the system is waiting for the user to close it before proceeding with any other actions.
  User Interface Issue: Sometimes, the user may not realize that a dialog box is open, especially if it is behind other windows or minimized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Close the Dialog Box: The immediate solution is to locate and close the "Display Budget Text" window. You can do this by:
  
  Looking for the window on your screen and clicking the close button (usually an "X" in the corner).
  If the window is behind other windows, minimize or move other windows to find it.
  If you cannot find it, you may need to use the Alt + Tab keyboard shortcut to cycle through open windows until you find the dialog box.
  
  
  
  Check for Multiple Sessions: If you are running multiple sessions of SAP, ensure that you are not trying to perform actions in one session while a dialog is open in another.
  
  
  Refresh the Session: If the issue persists, you can try refreshing the session or logging out and back in to clear any potential glitches.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP GUI Behavior: Modal dialog boxes in SAP GUI require user interaction before allowing further actions. This is a standard behavior in many applications to ensure that users complete necessary tasks before proceeding.
  User Training: It may be beneficial to provide training or documentation to users on how to manage dialog boxes effectively within the SAP environment.
  System Performance: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating if there are performance issues with the SAP system that cause delays in closing dialog boxes.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP support team or check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
