  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GG563 - The selected entry has been copied to the clipboard > Paste using PF7 ?

    The SAP error message GG563, which states "The selected entry has been copied to the clipboard. Paste using PF7," typically occurs in the context of SAP GUI when a user attempts to copy an entry from a list or table and then paste it into another location within the SAP system.

    Cause:

    This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the system has successfully copied the selected entry to the clipboard. The message prompts the user to use the PF7 function key to paste the copied entry.

    Solution:

    To resolve this message and successfully paste the copied entry, follow these steps:

    1. Copy the Entry: Ensure that you have selected the entry you want to copy and have executed the copy command (usually by right-clicking and selecting "Copy" or using the appropriate keyboard shortcut).

    2. Navigate to the Target Field: Move to the field or area where you want to paste the copied entry.

    3. Use PF7 to Paste: Press the PF7 function key on your keyboard. In many SAP systems, PF7 is designated for the paste function. If your keyboard does not have a PF7 key, you may need to use the function key emulation or the on-screen function keys available in the SAP GUI.

    4. Verify the Paste: After pressing PF7, check to ensure that the entry has been pasted correctly into the target field.

    Related Information:

    • Function Keys: The function keys (PF1, PF2, PF3, etc.) may vary based on your SAP GUI settings and the keyboard layout. If PF7 does not work, you can also try using the menu options or right-click context menus to find the paste option.

    • Clipboard Limitations: Be aware that the clipboard may have limitations based on the data type or format. Ensure that the data you are copying is compatible with the target field.

    • SAP GUI Version: The behavior of function keys and clipboard operations may vary slightly depending on the version of the SAP GUI you are using. Always refer to the documentation specific to your version if you encounter issues.

    • User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to copy and paste data within the SAP system, as some fields may be restricted based on user roles.

    If you continue to experience issues or if the message appears in an unexpected context, it may be helpful to consult your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
