  Check Clipboard Functionality: If you are unable to paste the copied data, check if your clipboard is functioning correctly. You can do this by copying and pasting text from other applications.
  Restart SAP GUI: If you encounter issues with copying and pasting, try restarting the SAP GUI or your computer to reset the clipboard functionality.
