  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VMP_MSG364:
  
  SAP Error Message: VMP_MSG364
  Text:
  
  "Save and ReloadÆ is not allowed; select 'Save and ExitÆ instead."
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in the Variant Configuration (VC) environment, specifically when working with the Configuration Profile or during the configuration process in the SAP Variant Management (VMP) tool.
  
  The message indicates that the user attempted to use the "Save and Reload" function in a context where this action is not permitted.
  Typically, this happens because the system or the current screen does not support reloading the configuration after saving.
  The "Save and Reload" option is designed to save the current configuration and immediately reload it to reflect changes dynamically.
  However, in certain steps or screens (e.g., final steps of configuration, or when the configuration is locked or incomplete), reloading is disabled to prevent inconsistent or partial data states.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Instead of selecting "Save and Reload", the user should select "Save and Exit".
  "Save and Exit" will save the current configuration data and close the configuration session without attempting to reload.
  This ensures data integrity and avoids the error.
  If the user needs to continue working on the configuration, they can reopen the configuration session after saving.
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This message is part of the Variant Configuration (VC) user interface controls to guide users on valid actions.
  The restriction helps maintain consistency in configuration data and prevents errors caused by partial reloads.
  If you frequently encounter this message, review the configuration process flow to ensure that "Save and Reload" is only used in supported steps.
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to Variant Configuration and VMP for any updates or patches if this behavior seems inconsistent.
  In some cases, custom enhancements or user exits might affect the availability of "Save and Reload" functionality.
