• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_BAS015 - Action &1 terminated because data still exists on frontend ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_PRC_BAS015: Action &1 terminated because data still exists on frontend
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an action (such as a workflow step or a process) is terminated or cannot proceed because there is still unsaved or existing data present on the frontend (user interface). Essentially, the system detects that the user or process has not completed or cleared the data input on the screen before attempting to execute the next step or terminate the action.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The user has entered data in a screen or form but has not saved or confirmed it.
  The frontend buffer or context still holds data that needs to be processed or cleared.
  The workflow or process logic expects the frontend data to be empty or finalized before proceeding.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Ensure all data on the frontend is saved or cleared:
  
  Check if the user has unsaved entries on the screen.
  Save or confirm the data before triggering the action.
  If the data is not needed, clear or reset the input fields.
  
  
  
  Check the frontend buffer or context:
  
  Sometimes, the frontend session or buffer holds data that needs to be cleared programmatically.
  Use appropriate frontend methods or transaction codes to clear the buffer.
  
  
  
  Review the process or workflow logic:
  
  Make sure the process does not attempt to terminate or proceed while data is still pending on the frontend.
  Add validations or checks to ensure data is finalized before the action.
  
  
  
  User training:
  
  Inform users to complete or save their data entries before moving to the next step.
