• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1M400 - &1 has default value, but not &2 ?

  The SAP error message "1M400 &1 has default value, but not &2" typically occurs in the context of configuration or data entry in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with default values in customizing or master data settings. This error indicates that a certain field (represented by &1) has a default value set, but another related field (represented by &2) does not have a default value, which is causing a conflict or inconsistency.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Default Value: The primary cause of this error is that while one field has a default value defined, the related field does not. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  In customizing settings where default values are expected for certain fields.
  In master data records where certain fields are interdependent.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the default values for related fields are not properly defined.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Users may have entered data incorrectly or missed filling in required fields that are supposed to have default values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and check the configuration for the specific area where the error is occurring. Ensure that both fields have appropriate default values set.
  
  
  
  Define Default Values: 
  
  If the related field (&2) does not have a default value, you can define one in the customizing settings or master data maintenance.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data: 
  
  If the error occurs during data entry, review the master data records to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that default values are set where necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the module or area where the error is occurring.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making changes, test the process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to the configuration or master data.
