  The SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL040 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the frontend and backend positions in a data processing operation, specifically related to cursor and range settings. This error typically arises in scenarios where data is being fetched or manipulated, and the expected cursor position does not align with the defined range of data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cursor Position Mismatch: The cursor position in the frontend (e.g., a user interface or report) does not match the expected range of data in the backend (e.g., database or application logic).
  Data Changes: If the data in the backend has changed (e.g., records added, deleted, or modified) after the frontend has already established a cursor position, this can lead to inconsistencies.
