This is a common issue in SAP applications where data integrity is crucial, and the system requires that any changes made to a record be saved before proceeding with other actions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You have made changes to a data record (e.g., in a transaction or a form) but have not saved those changes.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  Save the Current Record: Before attempting to execute any new action, ensure that you save the current data record. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your changes.

  Review Data Entry: Double-check the data you have entered for any errors or inconsistencies that might prevent saving.
