• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL652 - Function group & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message FL652 indicates that a specific function group does not exist in the system. This error typically arises when a program or transaction attempts to call a function group that has not been defined or has been deleted from the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Group: The function group specified in the error message is not present in the SAP system.
  Transport Issues: The function group may not have been transported correctly from the development environment to the production environment.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the system is looking for a function group that is not relevant to the current setup.
  Custom Development: If the function group is part of a custom development, it may not have been created or activated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Group Existence:

  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If the function group is part of custom development, ensure that all related objects (like function modules, includes, etc.) are also present and activated.
