  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR623 - Insert first field
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR623 - Insert first field typically occurs in SAP when you are trying to enter or process data in a table or structure where the system expects the first key field or a mandatory initial field to be filled before other fields can be entered or processed. This often happens in transaction codes related to vendor master data, purchasing documents, or other master data maintenance where the first field (usually a key field like vendor number, material number, or document number) is missing or not entered.
  In other words, the system requires the first field (often a key or mandatory field) to be entered first to identify the record or context before other fields can be processed.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Entering vendor or customer master data where the key field (e.g., vendor number) is missing.
  Creating or changing purchasing documents where the first mandatory field is not filled.
  Data entry screens where the first field is a key field and must be entered before other fields.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the First Field:
  
  Make sure to enter the first mandatory field (usually the key field) before entering other fields. For example, if you are maintaining vendor data, enter the vendor number first.
  
  
  Check Field Sequence:
  
  Follow the correct sequence of data entry as required by the transaction or screen. The system enforces this to maintain data integrity.

  If this error appears unexpectedly, check if there are any custom validations, user exits, or enhancements that enforce this rule.
  
  
  Screen or Field Status:
  
  Verify if the field status group or screen layout is correctly configured to allow entry of the first field.
