• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMU/UI_RCP202 - Specification &1 was created but not yet saved ?

  The SAP error message /PLMU/UI_RCP202 Specification &1 was created but not yet saved typically indicates that a specification (such as a recipe or material specification) has been created in the system but has not been saved yet. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Recipe Management.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The most common cause is that the user has created a new specification but has not yet saved it. This can happen if the user navigates away from the screen or closes the application without saving.
  Session Timeout: If the user has been inactive for a period, the session may time out, leading to unsaved changes.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or interruptions (like network issues) can prevent the saving of data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to save the specification.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save the Specification: Ensure that you save the specification by clicking the "Save" button or using the appropriate keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S).
  Check for Errors: If you attempt to save and receive an error, check for any validation errors or required fields that may not have been filled out.
  Session Management: If you suspect a session timeout, try to save your work frequently or adjust your session timeout settings if possible.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create and save specifications. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Recreate if Necessary: If the specification was lost due to a session timeout or system error, you may need to recreate it.
