• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD956 - No allowed values defined for domain & ?

  The SAP error message AD956 "No allowed values defined for domain &" typically occurs when a field in a data entry screen or a selection screen is associated with a domain that does not have any allowed values defined. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a custom field is created or when a standard field is modified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Domain Values: The domain associated with the field does not have any allowed values defined. Domains are used in SAP to define the technical attributes of a field, including its data type and value range.
  Custom Development: If a custom field or table is created without properly defining the domain values, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If the domain was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the allowed values were not included, this error may arise.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, configuration settings may not be properly set up, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Allowed Values:
  
  Go to transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the domain name associated with the field that is causing the error.
  Check if there are any allowed values defined. If not, you can add the necessary values.

  Check Custom Fields:
  
  If the error is related to a custom field, ensure that the domain and its allowed values are correctly defined in the development environment.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including domains and their allowed values, were included.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any related documentation or specifications for the field to ensure that it is set up correctly.
