• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL609 - Save all changes before starting the risk analysis ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL609 indicates that you need to save all changes in your Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) before you can start the risk analysis process. This is a common requirement in SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) applications, particularly when working with FMEA documents.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires that all modifications made to the FMEA document must be saved before proceeding with any further actions, such as starting the risk analysis. This is to ensure that the analysis is based on the most current and accurate data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Save Changes: Ensure that you have saved all changes made to the FMEA document. You can do this by clicking the "Save" button in the SAP interface or using the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S).
  
  
  Check for Unsaved Changes: If you are unsure whether all changes have been saved, review the document for any unsaved changes. Look for indicators in the interface that might suggest unsaved data.
  
  
  Retry Risk Analysis: Once you have saved all changes, attempt to start the risk analysis again. The error should no longer appear if all modifications have been properly saved.
