• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MCAL_MESSAGES096 - Save changes to proceed ?

  The SAP error message MCAL_MESSAGES096 with the text "Save changes to proceed" typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user attempts to perform an action that requires saving changes to a document or data entry before proceeding to the next step. This message is often seen in various modules, including Material Management (MM) or Production Planning (PP), where data integrity is crucial.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The most common cause of this error is that there are unsaved changes in the current session. The system requires that all changes be saved before allowing the user to proceed with other actions.
  Incomplete Data Entry: If the user has not completed all required fields or has made changes that are not yet saved, the system will prompt this message.
  Session Management: Sometimes, if a user has multiple sessions open, changes made in one session may not be saved, leading to this error when trying to perform actions in another session.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save Changes: The immediate solution is to save any changes made in the current session. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your work.
  Check Required Fields: Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled out correctly. If any required fields are missing data, the system will not allow you to proceed.
  Review Data Entry: Double-check the data you have entered for any errors or omissions that might prevent saving.
  Close Unused Sessions: If you have multiple SAP sessions open, consider closing any that are not in use to avoid confusion and ensure that changes are saved in the correct session.
  Log Out and Log Back In: If the issue persists, logging out of the SAP system and logging back in can sometimes resolve session-related issues.
