• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC121 - Import can only be executed on saved templates ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC121 Import can only be executed on saved templates typically occurs in the context of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or similar applications where templates are used for data import processes. This error indicates that the import operation you are trying to perform can only be executed on templates that have been saved, and not on unsaved or temporary templates.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Save the Template: Ensure that the template you are working with is saved. You can do this by navigating to the template and using the save option in the application.
  Check Template Status: Verify that the template is in the correct state for importing data. If it is in edit mode, save it first.
  Review User Permissions: Check if your user role has the necessary permissions to perform the import operation. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
  Use a Valid Template: If you are trying to import data into a template that is not intended for that purpose, ensure you are using the correct template that is designed for data import.
