  The SAP error message SV851 ("View cluster is already open. Go back by choosing F3.") typically occurs when a user attempts to access a view cluster that is already open in another session or window. This is a common issue in SAP when multiple sessions are trying to access the same data simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Sessions: The most common cause is that the view cluster is already open in another session. SAP does not allow the same view cluster to be opened multiple times to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Management: If a user has navigated away from the view cluster without properly closing it, it may still be considered "open" by the system.
  Technical Issues: Occasionally, technical issues or bugs in the SAP system can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Close Other Sessions: Check if the view cluster is open in another session. If it is, close that session or navigate back to it.
