  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3G871 - The function module &2 is missing in selection program &1 ?

    The SAP error message 3G871 indicates that a function module specified in a selection program is missing. This typically occurs when the program is trying to call a function module that does not exist in the system or is not accessible due to authorization issues or other reasons.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Function Module: The function module specified in the error message does not exist in the SAP system.
    2. Transport Issues: The function module may not have been transported correctly from the development environment to the production environment.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user executing the program may not have the necessary authorizations to access the function module.
    4. Incorrect Program Configuration: The selection program may be incorrectly configured to call a function module that is not intended to be used.

    Solution:

    1. Check Function Module Existence:

      • Use transaction SE37 to check if the function module exists in the system. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
