  The SAP error message KQ182 ("Function only available after saving") typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or when working with certain transactions that require data to be saved before proceeding with specific functions. This error indicates that the user is trying to perform an action that is not permitted until the current data has been saved.
  Cause:

  Check for Required Fields: Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled out before saving. If any required fields are missing, the system may not allow you to save, leading to this error.
  Review Transaction Steps: If you are following a specific process or transaction, ensure that you are following the correct sequence of steps. Some functions may only be available after certain prerequisites are met.
