  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG051 - Wrong menu option on screen &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user selects a menu option that is not valid or not available on the current screen. Essentially, the system detects that the chosen menu item does not correspond to the active screen context or the screen's function code is not recognized.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  User trying to execute a function that is not allowed in the current screen.  
  Custom or standard menu options being called incorrectly.  
  Screen flow or GUI status inconsistencies, such as a mismatch between the GUI status and the screen.  
  Programming errors where the function code is not handled properly in the PAI (Process After Input) module of the screen.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the GUI Status and Screen Flow:  
  
  Verify that the GUI status assigned to the screen contains the correct menu options and function codes.  
  Ensure that the menu option selected is valid for the current screen.
  
  
  
  Debug the Screen Flow:  
  
  Use transaction SE41 to check the menu and function codes assigned to the GUI status.  
  Use transaction SE80 or SE51 to review the screen flow logic and PAI module to ensure all function codes are handled properly.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code (if applicable):  
  
  If this occurs in a custom program or enhancement, verify that the function codes are correctly defined and handled in the code.  
  Make sure that the function code passed from the screen matches the expected values.
  
  
  
  User Training:  
  
  Sometimes users may click on menu options that are disabled or not intended for the current screen. Training users on the correct navigation can help avoid this error.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
