• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP202 - Save the data first ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP202 - Save the data first
  
  Cause:
  The message WXP202 - Save the data first typically occurs in SAP Web Dynpro applications or other SAP GUI transactions when an action or navigation is attempted while there are unsaved changes in the current screen or context. The system requires the user to save the current data before proceeding to the next step or screen to ensure data consistency and avoid loss of changes.
  In other words, the error is triggered because the application detects that the current data has been modified but not yet saved, and the next operation depends on having the data saved.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to navigate away from a screen or tab without saving changes.
  When you try to execute an action that requires the current data to be committed.
  In Web Dynpro applications, when the context is dirty (modified) but not yet saved.
  When a user tries to perform an operation that depends on the saved state of the data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Save the Data:
  
  Click the Save button or use the appropriate save function in the application before proceeding.
  Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled correctly to allow saving.
  
  
  
  Check for Validation Errors:
  
  Sometimes, the save operation might fail due to validation errors.
  Correct any errors or missing data that prevent saving.
  
  
  
  Confirm Save Completion:
  
  Wait for the system to confirm that the data has been saved successfully before continuing.
  
  
  
  If the Save Button is Disabled or Not Visible:
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to save data.
  Check if the application logic requires certain conditions to be met before enabling save.
  
  
  
  Technical Troubleshooting (for developers/administrators):
  
  Check the Web Dynpro component or application logic to ensure that the save action is properly implemented.
  Verify that the context is properly marked as clean after saving.
  Debug the application to see why the system thinks data is unsaved.
  Review any custom enhancements or user exits that might interfere with the save process.
