  The SAP error message OIURVOW663, which states "Please Save to Complete the Overwrite," typically occurs in the context of SAP's User Interface (UI) when a user attempts to overwrite existing data without saving the changes made in the current session. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in those involving data entry or modification.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The most common cause of this error is that the user has made changes to a record but has not saved those changes before attempting to overwrite or update the record.
