This error indicates that the system expects you to save the current infotype data before proceeding with further actions.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: You are trying to perform an action (like navigating to another infotype, executing a function, or saving a record) without saving the current infotype data.
  Incomplete Data Entry: The system may require certain mandatory fields to be filled out before allowing you to save or proceed.
  Session Timeout: If you have been inactive for a while, your session may have timed out, leading to this error when you try to perform an action.
