  Missing Dependencies: The function module may depend on other objects (like data elements, domains, or other function modules) that are not activated or are missing.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Syntax: Open the function module in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE37) and check for any syntax errors. Correct any issues found.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are activated. You can use transaction SE80 or SE37 to check for dependencies.
