• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMMA136 - Container element '&1' is not filled ?

  The SAP error message EMMA136, which states "Container element '&1' is not filled," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Enterprise Management (EM) or related modules when a required container element is expected to have a value but is found to be empty or uninitialized. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a program, a transaction, or when processing data in a workflow.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The most common cause is that the specific container element (indicated by '&1') is not populated with the necessary data before it is accessed or processed.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the expected data is not being passed correctly to the container.
  Programming Errors: If custom ABAP code is involved, there may be a logic error that prevents the container from being filled.
  Workflow Issues: In workflows, if a previous step did not execute correctly or did not pass the required data, subsequent steps may encounter this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Population: Ensure that the container element is being filled correctly in the preceding steps of the process. This may involve checking the logic in the program or workflow.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, use the debugger to trace the execution and see where the container element is supposed to be filled. Look for any conditions that might prevent it from being populated.
  Review Configuration: If the error is related to a configuration setting, review the relevant settings in the SAP system to ensure that all required fields are correctly configured.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code or workflow to manage cases where data might not be available, providing fallback values or error messages to guide users.
