How To Fix F4689 - See notes on transporting -> see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: F4 - Line items/balances/configuration

• Message number: 689

• Message text: See notes on transporting -> see long text

What causes this issue?

The variants for the fast entry are cross-client and therefore need not
be transported between clients.
If you want to transport variants between different systems, please
note that the variants available for the target system are overwritten
during the transport in case of similarities between names.
If this is not wanted, the variants to be transported should have other
names.
An entry screen whose number is displayed for control data of a variant
belongs to every variant. This entry screen is addressed in the
respective application (for example posting document) (the number can
be displayed there via <LS>System -> Status</>).
These screen numbers are automatically re-assigned in the target system
to avoid collisions with existing variants which refer to the same
screen number.
<ZH>Example</>:
<ZH>Source system,,Target system,,Target system after import</>
VAR01 - 8001,,VR001 - 8001,,VAR01 - 8003 (new)
VAR02 - 8002,,VR002 - 8002,,VAR02 - 8004 (new)
,, ,,VR001 - 8001
,, ,,VR002 - 8002
This automatic renumbering is carried out when calling up the
corresponding application (for example, posting document) for the first
time and when maintaining the variants in the configuration menu.
