• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E!108 - User missing ?

  The SAP error message E!108 "User missing" typically indicates that the user ID you are trying to use does not exist in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when logging in, executing a transaction, or performing a specific function that requires user authentication.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent User ID: The user ID you are trying to log in with or use in a transaction does not exist in the SAP system.
  User Deactivation: The user ID may exist but has been deactivated or locked.
  Incorrect User ID: There may be a typo or error in the user ID being entered.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action, leading to a misleading error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify User ID: Check the user ID for any typos or errors. Ensure that you are entering the correct user ID.
  Check User Existence: Use transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check if the user ID exists in the system. If you have the necessary authorizations, you can search for the user.
