• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECABC003 - New window opened ?

  The SAP error message RECABC003 typically indicates that a new window has been opened in the SAP GUI, which can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction or when navigating through the system. This message is often related to the way SAP handles sessions and windows, particularly in the context of the SAP GUI settings or user actions.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Sessions: The user may have multiple sessions open, and the system is trying to open a new session in a new window.
  SAP GUI Settings: The settings in the SAP GUI may be configured to open new transactions in a new window instead of a new tab or session.
  User Action: The user may have inadvertently triggered an action that opens a new window, such as clicking on a link or button that is designed to open a new session.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check SAP GUI Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP GUI options and check the settings for how new sessions are handled. You can adjust the settings to open new transactions in the same window or in a new tab, depending on your preference.
  
  
  
  Close Unused Sessions:
  
  If you have multiple sessions open, consider closing any that are not in use. This can help reduce confusion and improve performance.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Instead of using links that may open new windows, try using transaction codes directly in the command field to navigate to the desired transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for Pop-up Blockers:
  
  If you are using a web-based SAP interface (like SAP Fiori), ensure that pop-up blockers are not preventing new windows from opening correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult with IT Support:
  
  If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team to check for any system-specific configurations or issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP GUI Versions: Different versions of the SAP GUI may handle window management differently. Ensure you are using a supported version.
  User Training: Sometimes, users may not be aware of how to navigate the SAP system effectively. Providing training on session management can help reduce confusion.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the error message appears in a specific context, providing more details about the actions leading to the error can help in diagnosing the problem further.
