• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#114 - You can only move executable nodes in the favorites list ?

  The SAP error message S#114, which states "You can only move executable nodes in the favorites list," typically occurs when a user attempts to rearrange or move items in their favorites list that are not executable. This can happen in various SAP GUI environments when users try to organize their favorites but inadvertently select non-executable items.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the favorites list in SAP is designed to contain executable items, such as transactions, reports, or links to specific functions. Non-executable items, such as folders or categories that do not lead to an action, cannot be moved or rearranged in the same way.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Executable Items: Ensure that you are only trying to move items that are executable. Executable items typically have a transaction code or a direct link to a function.
  
  
  Select the Correct Item: If you are trying to move a folder or a non-executable item, select an executable item instead.
  
  
  Use the Correct Method: To move an executable item in the favorites list:
  
  Click on the item you want to move.
  Use the drag-and-drop method to reposition it, or right-click and use the "Move" option if available.
  
  
  
  Check for Non-Executable Items: If you have folders or other non-executable items in your favorites, consider removing them or organizing them separately.
  
  
  Reorganize Favorites: If you need to organize your favorites, consider creating subfolders for non-executable items and keeping only executable items in the main favorites list.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP GUI Versions: The behavior of favorites may vary slightly depending on the version of the SAP GUI you are using. Ensure you are familiar with the specific version's features.
