• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU652 - No source code exists for dependency & (internal: &) ?

  The SAP error message CU652 ("No source code exists for dependency & (internal: &)") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Customizing and Development environment, particularly when dealing with dependencies in the context of transport requests or when trying to activate or generate objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Source Code: The error indicates that the system is unable to find the source code for a specific dependency. This can happen if the object has not been properly created or if it has been deleted or not transported correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the object was supposed to be transported from one system to another (e.g., from Development to Quality Assurance), and the transport request did not include the necessary objects, this error can occur.
  Inconsistent State: The system might be in an inconsistent state due to failed transports or incomplete object definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the object for which the dependency is being checked actually exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator) and searching for the object.
  Transport Request: If the object is missing, check the transport request to ensure that it includes all necessary objects. If it was not included, you may need to create a new transport request and include the missing objects.
  Recreate the Object: If the object has been deleted or is corrupted, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you have the correct definitions and settings.
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the object in question. Sometimes, dependencies may point to other objects that are also missing or not properly defined.
  Activate/Generate Again: If the object exists but is not activated, try to activate or generate it again. This can sometimes resolve issues related to dependencies.
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE37 (Function Builder), and SE38 (ABAP Editor) to investigate the objects and dependencies.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to error CU652 in the SAP Support Portal. There may be specific notes that address known issues or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation regarding transport management and object dependencies to better understand how these components interact.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Development team for further assistance.
