    The SAP error message "5P407 & Function & does not exist" typically indicates that the system is trying to call a function module or method that is not defined or does not exist in the system. This can occur for various reasons, including:

    2. Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo in the function name or the function is being called with incorrect parameters.
