• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE803 - Message text of &1(&2) does not have a first message variable ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE803 indicates that there is an issue with a message text that is expected to have a first message variable, but it does not. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Design Time (FDT) framework, where message texts are defined for various applications and processes.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Missing Message Variable: The message text defined in the system is expected to have a variable (like a placeholder) that is not present. This can happen if the message text was incorrectly defined or modified.
  Incorrect Message Configuration: The configuration of the message in the message class may not align with the expected format, leading to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the message was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies in the message definitions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_CORE803 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Message Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE91 (Message Class) in SAP.
  Look for the message class and message number indicated in the error message (e.g., &1(&2)).
  Verify that the message text includes the necessary variables. If it does not, you may need to add the required variable(s) to the message text.
  
  
  
  Modify Message Text:
  
  If the message text is missing a variable, you can edit it to include the appropriate placeholder (e.g., &1, &2, etc.) as needed.
  
  
  
  Review Related Code:
  
  If you have access to the ABAP code that triggers this message, review it to ensure that it is correctly passing the expected parameters to the message.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check if the message class and its definitions were correctly transported. You may need to re-transport or adjust the message definitions in the target system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the functionality that triggered the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Classes: In SAP, message classes are used to manage messages that can be displayed to users. Each message can have multiple variables that can be replaced with dynamic content at runtime.

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the FDT framework or specific message classes.
