Confirmation Prompts After Returns (SAP Library - BC

Confirmation Prompts After Returns

Confirmation prompts are displayed when leaving the initiated action may cause a loss of data. There are two possibilities:

Return with Post/Save: The user is able to save the entered data and then returns to the previous stage in the function.
Return without Post/Save: The user is not able to save the entered data, only return to the previous stage in the function.

With Post/Save
("POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_ STEP" or "POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_ WITH_VALUE")

The first possibility should be the standard return option, if possible. The user leaves the task function, and the previously entered data is either posted or saved, otherwise unsaved data will be lost. In addition, the user can use the " Cancel " option to close the dialog box again and cancel the initiated action.

Dialog box with confirmation prompt when Post/Save is possible (Exit)

Procedure

The user has activated the Exit or End <application> (Function) function.

A dialog box is displayed because data has already been entered or changed.

Layout

The question refers to the possible loss of data.

The non-destructive option " Yes " is selected - that is, the cursor is positioned on it. To post data, the user chooses "Yes"; to leave the task without posting, the user chooses "No".

The second return option is used if data is inconsistent or if too extensive costly checks would need to be performed. The user can respond to the confirmation prompt in one of two ways: Either leave the task function and lose the previously entered data, or return to the task to proceed.
