• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEPO014 - Function will be started in new session ?

  The SAP error message MEPO014, which states "Function will be started in new session," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or function that requires a new session to be opened. This is common in scenarios where the system needs to perform a task that cannot be completed in the current session due to various reasons, such as the need for additional input or a different context.
  Cause:
  
  Session Management: SAP has a limit on the number of sessions a user can have open at one time. If the user is already at the maximum number of sessions, the system may prompt to open a new session for certain functions.
  Functionality Requirements: Some functions inherently require a new session to execute properly, especially if they involve different transactions or require a different context.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, the error can be related to user authorizations or roles that restrict certain actions within the current session.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Open a New Session: If you receive this message, you can simply allow the system to open a new session. This is often the easiest solution.
  
  You can do this by clicking "Yes" when prompted or by manually opening a new session (using the menu path or shortcut).
  
  
  
  Check Session Limits: Ensure that you are not exceeding the maximum number of allowed sessions. You can check your current sessions and close any that are not needed.
  
  You can close a session by clicking the "X" on the session window or using the transaction code /nend to end the current session.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations: If you suspect that the issue may be related to user authorizations, check with your SAP security team to ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the function in the current session.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the function you are trying to execute is part of a specific module or process, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for any additional requirements or steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or function you are trying to execute.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the function you are trying to access, as this can help in troubleshooting.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on session management and the implications of opening multiple sessions in SAP.
