• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL090 - Navigation impossible: global parameter &1 defined differently ?

  The SAP error message FL090: Navigation impossible: global parameter &1 defined differently typically occurs when there is a mismatch in the configuration of a global parameter across different systems or clients. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to navigate to a transaction or report that relies on a specific global parameter that has been defined differently in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: The global parameter (denoted as &1 in the error message) is defined with different values in different clients or systems. This inconsistency can lead to navigation issues.
  Transport Issues: If changes to global parameters were transported from one system to another, and the transport did not include all necessary dependencies or was not executed correctly, it could lead to this error.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain parameters or transactions, leading to navigation issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Global Parameter Definition:
  
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration settings.
  Navigate to the relevant area where the global parameter is defined and check its value.
  Ensure that the parameter is consistently defined across all relevant clients or systems.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and that the transport was successful.
  If needed, re-transport the configuration or manually adjust the parameter in the affected system.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the transaction or report.
  Check the user roles and profiles to ensure they include the required permissions.
  
  
  
  System Consistency:
  
  If the issue persists, consider running consistency checks or using transaction SE11 to check the database table where the global parameter is stored.
  You may also want to consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that there are no underlying system issues.
