  The SAP error message 3N121 ("The form &1 is not maintained") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or process that requires a specific form (such as a print form or layout) that has not been defined or maintained in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when generating invoices, purchase orders, or other documents that rely on forms for output.
  Cause:

  Solution:
