• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMU/UI_RPR_PP_M106 - Copy buffer is empty; the system cannot paste data ?

  The SAP error message /PLMU/UI_RPR_PP_M106 Copy buffer is empty; the system cannot paste data typically occurs when you attempt to paste data into a field or area in SAP that requires data to be copied first, but the copy buffer is empty. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in user interface scenarios where data manipulation is involved.
  Cause:
  
  No Data Copied: The most common cause is that no data has been copied to the clipboard before attempting to paste.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, session timeouts or issues with the SAP GUI can lead to the clipboard not functioning properly.
  Clipboard Restrictions: Certain environments or configurations may restrict clipboard operations, preventing data from being copied or pasted.
  User Permissions: Lack of appropriate permissions to perform copy-paste operations in certain areas of the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Copy Data First: Ensure that you have selected and copied the data you want to paste before attempting to paste it. You can usually do this by highlighting the data and using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C or right-clicking and selecting "Copy."
  Check Clipboard Functionality: Verify that your clipboard is functioning correctly outside of SAP. You can do this by copying and pasting text in other applications (like Notepad or Word).
  Restart SAP GUI: If you suspect a session issue, try logging out and logging back into the SAP GUI or restarting the application.
  Check User Permissions: If you suspect that permissions might be an issue, consult with your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary rights to perform copy-paste operations.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the standard copy-paste functionality is not working, consider using SAP's built-in data transfer tools or transaction codes that allow for data import/export.
