• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FE064 - Form & created; please activate it ?

  The SAP error message FE064 ("Form & created; please activate it") typically occurs when a form (such as a print form or a smart form) has been created but not yet activated in the SAP system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with SAPscript, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms.
  Cause:
  
  Form Not Activated: The primary cause of this error is that the form has been created but not activated. In SAP, forms must be activated before they can be used for printing or output.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the form may have been created but not yet transported to the appropriate environment (e.g., quality or production).
  Changes Made: If changes were made to an existing form, it may need to be reactivated to reflect those changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FE064 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Activate the Form:
  
  Go to the transaction code for the form you are working with (e.g., SMARTFORMS for Smart Forms or SE71 for SAPscript).
  Locate the form that is causing the error.
  If you are using Smart Forms, you can activate it by clicking on the "Activate" button (or pressing Ctrl + F3).
  If you are using SAPscript, you can activate it by going to the "Form" menu and selecting "Activate".
  
  
  
  Check for Errors: After activation, check for any errors or warnings that may need to be addressed.
  
  
  Transport the Form: If you are in a development environment and need the form in another environment (like quality or production), ensure that the form is included in a transport request and that the transport is released and imported into the target environment.
  
  
  Testing: After activation, test the form to ensure it works as expected.
