• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ116 - Function is not possible for user who has already logged on once ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ116 - Function is not possible for user who has already logged on once
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to perform a function or action that is restricted after the user has already logged on once in the current session or system context. Typically, this happens in scenarios where certain functions are only allowed before the first login or initial session setup, and once the user has logged on, these functions become invalid or locked.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to reset or change user parameters or profiles after the user has already logged on.
  Trying to perform certain system or user administration tasks that are only allowed before the first login.
  Using specific transaction codes or functions that are designed to be executed only once per session or user login.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Log off and log on again:
  
  Since the function is restricted after the first login, logging off and then logging on again might allow the function to be executed if it is intended to be done at the start of a session.
  
  
  Check the transaction or function usage:
  
  Verify if the function or transaction you are trying to execute is designed to be used only before the first login. Consult SAP documentation or your system administrator for the correct procedure.
  
  
  User profile or parameter reset:
  
  If the function relates to resetting user parameters or profiles, consider performing these actions via the SAP GUI or through system administration tools before the user logs on.
  
  
  Contact SAP Basis or Security team:
  
  If you are unsure why the function is restricted, or if the error persists, contact your SAP Basis or Security team. They can check user session states, locks, or system settings that might be causing this restriction.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  It may appear in transactions related to user administration (e.g., SU01, SU3) or system configuration.
  SAP Notes or documentation related to user logon restrictions and session management might provide additional insights.
  Always ensure that functions restricted to pre-login or initial session phases are executed accordingly to avoid this error.
