  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CMDS_SCO002 Save changes first typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when users attempt to perform an action that requires the current changes to be saved first. This error is often encountered in the context of planning or configuration tasks where unsaved changes exist.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You have made changes to a planning object (like a demand plan, supply plan, or configuration settings) but have not saved those changes.
  You attempt to execute a function (like navigating away, executing a report, or making further changes) that requires the current state to be saved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  Save Your Changes: Before performing any further actions, ensure that you save any changes you have made. Look for a "Save" button or option in the interface.
  Check for Unsaved Changes: If you are unsure whether you have unsaved changes, review the interface for any indicators (like asterisks next to fields or a message indicating unsaved changes).
  Confirm Save: After saving, confirm that the changes have been successfully saved. You may receive a confirmation message or see the interface update.
  Retry the Action: Once you have saved your changes, try to perform the action that triggered the error again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to save changes in the APO module. Lack of permissions can sometimes lead to confusion about whether changes are being saved.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO that may be related to the task you are performing (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDP94 for demand planning).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional context or solutions for specific scenarios related to this error.
  System Performance: In some cases, system performance issues may prevent changes from being saved properly. If you experience delays or timeouts, consider checking with your IT support team.
