  SAP Error Message: WA158 - "Make entries in all fields"
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs when a user tries to proceed with a transaction or save data, but one or more mandatory fields have been left empty. The system requires all required fields to be filled before it can process the data further.
  In SAP, certain fields are marked as mandatory (required fields), and if these are not filled, the system triggers this message to ensure data completeness and integrity.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During data entry in transactions such as creating or changing master data (e.g., material master, vendor master).
  While entering data in custom or standard SAP screens where mandatory fields are defined.
  In batch input sessions or data uploads where mandatory fields are missing.
  In user-defined screens or custom programs where field validations are implemented.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check all mandatory fields:
  
  Review the screen carefully and ensure that all fields marked with a checkmark, asterisk (*), or highlighted as mandatory are filled.
  
  
  Use F1 Help:
  
  If unsure which fields are mandatory, place the cursor on the field and press F1 to get help or field information.
  
  
  Check for hidden mandatory fields:
  
  Sometimes, mandatory fields might be hidden or in tabs/subscreens. Make sure to check all tabs or sections of the screen.
  
  
  Review field validations:
  
  If this error occurs in a custom program or screen, check the validation logic in the code or screen flow logic to ensure that mandatory fields are correctly identified and enforced.
  
  
  Consult configuration:
  
  In some cases, mandatory fields are controlled via configuration (e.g., IMG settings). Verify if any recent changes have made additional fields mandatory.
  
  
  Data upload/batch input:
  
  If the error occurs during data upload, check the source data file to ensure all required fields are populated.
