• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAVORITES062 - Root object favorite '&1' does not exist ?

  The SAP error message FAVORITES062 indicates that a root object favorite, identified by the placeholder &1, does not exist. This typically occurs when a user tries to access a favorite (a shortcut to a transaction, report, or other object) that has been deleted, renamed, or is otherwise unavailable in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Deleted Object: The object that the favorite points to has been deleted from the system.
  Renamed Object: The object has been renamed or moved, making the favorite invalid.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object.
  Transport Issues: If the favorites were transported from one system to another, the target system may not have the same objects available.
  User-Specific Favorites: The favorite may have been created in a different client or user profile that is not currently accessible.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object (transaction, report, etc.) that the favorite points to still exists in the system. You can do this by trying to access it directly through the transaction code or path.
  Recreate the Favorite: If the object has been deleted or renamed, you may need to recreate the favorite. Navigate to the object and add it back to your favorites.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the object. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check if the object was included in the transport request and whether it was successfully imported into the target system.
