• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSL_WUI251 - Export is not possible; save your data first ?

  The SAP error message RMSL_WUI251, which states "Export is not possible; save your data first," typically occurs when a user attempts to export data from a transaction or application without first saving any changes made to the data. This is a common safeguard in SAP systems to prevent data loss or inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The primary cause of this error is that there are unsaved changes in the current session. SAP requires that all data be saved before performing an export operation.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Save Your Data: 
  
  Look for a "Save" button (often represented by a disk icon) in the application interface.
  Click on it to save any changes you have made to the data.
  Ensure that you receive a confirmation message indicating that the data has been saved successfully.
  
  
  
  Retry the Export: 
  
  After saving, attempt the export operation again. The error should no longer appear if the data has been saved correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Additional Prompts: 
  
  If there are any prompts or messages indicating issues with saving (e.g., missing required fields), address those before trying to save again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to save and export data in the SAP system.
  Data Integrity: Always ensure that the data you are working with is complete and valid before saving to avoid further issues.
