• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DH125 - The function module & defined as search help exit is not active ?

  The SAP error message DH125 indicates that a function module defined as a search help exit is not active. This typically occurs when a search help is configured to use a specific function module for additional processing, but the function module is either not implemented, not activated, or not available in the system.
