This error indicates that there is an attempt to perform an action (like creating or modifying a record) without first saving a related object or document.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Uncommitted Changes: You are trying to perform an operation on a document or object that has unsaved changes. For example, if you are trying to create a production order or a quality notification without saving the previous entries.
  Dependency on Previous Data: The action you are trying to perform depends on the successful saving of another object. For instance, if you are trying to create a follow-up document that requires a reference to a previously saved document.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PQ706 error, follow these steps:
  
  Save the Current Document: Ensure that you save the current document or object you are working on. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your changes.
  Check for Dependencies: If the action you are trying to perform requires a previous document to be saved, make sure that all necessary documents are saved first.
  Review the Workflow: If you are following a specific workflow, ensure that you are adhering to the required sequence of operations. Some actions may need to be completed in a specific order.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the dependencies or the required steps, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module you are working in (PP, QM, etc.).
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes in SAP that pertain to the module you are working in (e.g., CO01 for creating production orders, QM01 for creating quality notifications).
