  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_DISPRO003 – Unsaved data will be lost; do you still want to cancel?
  
  Cause:
  This message appears in SAP when you attempt to cancel or exit a transaction, screen, or process where there is unsaved data or changes. The system detects that the current data entries or modifications have not been saved yet, and warns you that if you proceed with the cancellation, all unsaved changes will be lost.
  This is a standard warning to prevent accidental loss of data.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message is a warning, not an error.
  It is triggered by the system’s check for unsaved changes in the current session or screen.
  It typically appears in transactions or custom developments where data input is involved.
  The message is designed to prompt the user to either save the data or confirm cancellation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  If you want to keep your changes:
  
  Click No or Cancel on the message popup, then save your data before exiting or cancelling.
  
  
  If you want to discard your changes:
  
  Click Yes or OK to confirm cancellation and lose unsaved data.
  
  
  To avoid the message in custom developments:
  
  Developers can implement proper checks and save prompts or autosave features to minimize accidental data loss.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is part of SAP’s standard user interface behavior to protect data integrity.
  It is commonly seen in modules like SAP SD, MM, or custom Web Dynpro/Fiori applications where user input is involved.
  If this message appears unexpectedly or too frequently, it may indicate:
  
  The user is not saving data properly.
  There might be a UI or program logic issue causing the system to think data is unsaved.
  
  
  In custom developments (e.g., Web Dynpro ABAP), developers can handle this message by implementing the IF_WD_VIEW interface methods like IF_WD_VIEW~ON_CANCEL or IF_WD_VIEW~ON_EXIT to manage unsaved data warnings gracefully.
