  SAP Error Message:
  
  W8432 - Operation was canceled
  
  Cause:
  The message W8432 "Operation was canceled" typically occurs when a user or a process explicitly cancels an ongoing operation in SAP. This can happen due to:
  
  User manually pressing the Cancel button or closing a dialog/window during a process.
  A background job or program being terminated before completion.
  An operation being interrupted by a system timeout or user action.
  A custom or standard program encountering a condition where it intentionally cancels the operation and raises this message.
  
  In many cases, this message is informational (warning) rather than an error, indicating that the process did not complete because it was stopped.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Action:
  
  Verify if the user canceled the operation intentionally. If so, no further action is needed unless the cancellation was accidental.

  System timeouts.
  User interruptions.
  Program logic that might cancel the operation under certain conditions.
  
  
  
  Check Logs and Dumps:
  
  Review system logs (SM21), short dumps (ST22), and application logs (SLG1) for related errors or warnings that might provide more context.
  
  
  Debug or Trace:
  
  If the cancellation is caused by custom code or a specific program, debugging or enabling trace can help identify the exact point and reason for cancellation.
  
  
  Retry Operation:
  
  If the cancellation was accidental or due to a temporary issue, retry the operation.
