• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB288 - Extended user settings require the new setting screen ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB288 Extended user settings require the new setting screen
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when a user tries to access or modify extended user settings in SAP, but the system detects that the user is still using the old (classic) user settings screen instead of the new (enhanced) user settings screen. The extended user settings functionality requires the new user settings screen to be active.
  In other words, the system expects the user to switch to the new user settings UI because the extended settings are not supported or manageable in the old screen.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP introduced a new user settings screen (transaction SU3 or SU01 with the new UI) that supports additional or extended user parameters and settings.
  If a user tries to maintain extended user settings via the old screen, the system issues this warning to prompt the user to switch to the new screen.
