  The SAP error message 5X041: Screen &1 is not a subscreen typically occurs when there is an issue with the screen configuration in a custom transaction or program. This error indicates that the system is trying to call a screen that is not defined as a subscreen in the context of the main screen.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Screen Definition: The screen being called is not defined as a subscreen in the screen painter.
  Screen Number Mismatch: The screen number specified in the program does not correspond to a valid subscreen.
  Program Logic Error: The program logic may be incorrectly attempting to call a screen that is not intended to be a subscreen.
  Missing Screen Attributes: The screen may not have the necessary attributes set to be recognized as a subscreen.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Screen Definition:
  
  Go to the Screen Painter (transaction SE80 or SE41) and verify that the screen you are trying to call is indeed defined as a subscreen.

  Review Program Logic:
