• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPXN140 - Object must be saved ?

  The SAP error message SPXN140, which states "Object must be saved," typically occurs when you are trying to perform an action on an object (like a transport request, configuration, or other changes) that has not yet been saved in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with ABAP programs, customizing settings, or transport management.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: You have made changes to an object but have not saved those changes.
  Session Timeout: Your session may have timed out, and the system no longer recognizes your unsaved changes.
  Incorrect Workflow: You may be trying to execute a function or transaction that requires the object to be saved first.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save the Object: Before performing the action that triggered the error, ensure that you save the object. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your changes.
  Check for Unsaved Changes: If you are unsure whether you have saved your changes, check the status of the object. If it indicates that there are unsaved changes, save it.
  Reopen the Object: If you suspect that your session has timed out or if the system is not recognizing your changes, try closing and reopening the object or transaction.
  Review the Workflow: Ensure that you are following the correct sequence of steps for the task you are trying to perform. Some actions may require prior steps to be completed and saved.
