• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB111 - Please save your changes before you maintain further units of measure ?

  The SAP error message LB111 ("Please save your changes before you maintain further units of measure") typically occurs when you are trying to maintain or change units of measure in a transaction or screen where unsaved changes exist. This is a common issue in SAP when the system requires that all changes be saved before proceeding with additional modifications.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because:
  
  You have made changes to the data in the current session that have not yet been saved.
  The system does not allow you to make further changes (like maintaining units of measure) until the current changes are saved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Save Your Changes: 
  
  If you have made changes to the data, save them by clicking the "Save" button (usually represented by a disk icon) or by using the keyboard shortcut (often Ctrl + S).

  Review Changes: 
  
  If you do not want to save the changes, you can choose to discard them. This can usually be done by navigating back or using the "Back" button, but be cautious as this will lose any unsaved work.
  
  
  
  Reopen the Transaction: 
  
  If the issue persists, you can try closing the transaction and reopening it to start fresh.
