GB514
- Only user-defined text entry is supported in expert mode ?The SAP error message GB514, which states "Only user-defined text entry is supported in expert mode," typically occurs in the context of SAP's reporting or data entry functionalities, particularly when using expert mode in certain transactions or reports.
Cause: This error usually arises when a user attempts to enter predefined or system-generated text in a field that is only meant to accept user-defined text. In expert mode, the system expects the user to provide custom entries rather than selecting from predefined options.
Solution: To resolve this error, you can take the following steps: Switch to Standard Mode: If you are in expert mode and do not need the advanced features, consider switching back to standard mode where predefined text entries are allowed. Use User-Defined Text: Ensure that any text you are entering in the relevant fields is user-defined. Avoid using any system-generated or predefined text. Check Field Settings: Review the field settings in the transaction or report
