• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICLPOLS001 - Position cursor in text field ?

  The SAP error message ICLPOLS001 ("Position cursor in text field") typically occurs when the system expects the user to enter or modify text in a specific field, but the cursor is not positioned correctly in that field. This can happen in various SAP transactions or screens where text input is required.
