3E413 - Details

• The SAP error message 3E413 ("Front end function in the batch not executable") typically occurs when there is an attempt to execute a front-end function (like a dialog box or a GUI-related operation) in a background processing context, such as a batch job. This is not allowed because front-end functions require user interaction, which is not possible in a background job.
  Causes:
  
  Background Processing: The error usually arises when a program or transaction that is designed to run in the foreground is executed in the background.
  Function Module Calls: The program may be calling a function module that includes GUI-related operations (like pop-ups, message boxes, etc.) which cannot be executed in the background.
  Incorrect Job Configuration: The job may be incorrectly configured to run a transaction or report that is not suitable for background execution.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check the Program Logic: Review the ABAP code to identify any calls to front-end functions. Replace or remove these calls
