• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER_UI052 - Structure details cannot be displayed until it is saved ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WER_UI052: Structure details cannot be displayed until it is saved
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to view or display the details of a structure (for example, in a Workbench Organizer or a similar development object) before the structure has been saved for the first time. Essentially, the system requires the structure to be saved in the database before it can retrieve and display its detailed information.
  In other words, the structure is still in an unsaved or "new" state, and the system cannot fetch details that do not yet exist persistently.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When creating a new structure in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) or in a development object.
  When trying to display or navigate to the details of a structure before saving it.
  In some SAP UI transactions or custom developments where structure details are accessed dynamically.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Save the structure first: Before attempting to display or access the structure details, save the structure. This action commits the structure to the database and allows the system to retrieve its details.
  Steps:
  
  Enter the structure name and define the fields.
  Click the Save button (or press Ctrl+S).
  After saving, you can now display or navigate to the structure details without error.
  
  
  
  If you are in a custom program or UI, ensure that the logic enforces saving the structure before any display or detail retrieval operations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a standard safeguard in SAP to prevent operations on incomplete or unsaved objects.
  Similar messages may appear for other development objects (tables, data elements, etc.) when trying to access details before saving.
  If you encounter this message in a custom application, review the program flow to ensure that the save operation is performed before any detail display calls.
  In SAP GUI transactions like SE11 (Data Dictionary), always save your new or changed objects before trying to display or activate them.
