  The SAP error message DDVIDB304 indicates that a function name is not defined in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) for the specified object. This typically occurs when the system is trying to access a function module or a method that does not exist or is not properly defined in the Data Dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module or method you are trying to call does not exist in the system.
