• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_GUI142 - Field selection &1: Tab index &2 is suppressed ?

  The SAP error message FTR_GUI142 indicates that there is an issue with the field selection in a specific tab of the SAP GUI, particularly in the context of financial transactions or treasury management. The message states: "Field selection &1: Tab index &2 is suppressed," which means that a certain field or tab is not available for input or is hidden due to configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Field Selection Configuration: The field selection for the transaction or screen you are trying to access may have been configured to suppress certain fields or tabs based on specific criteria (e.g., user roles, transaction types).
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or edit the fields in the specified tab.
  Transaction Type Settings: The settings for the specific transaction type being used may dictate that certain fields are not displayed or are read-only.
  Custom Development: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the system, they may inadvertently suppress certain fields or tabs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Selection Settings: Review the field selection settings in the configuration for the relevant transaction. This can typically be done in the customizing settings (SPRO) under the relevant module (e.g., Treasury).
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to access the fields in question. This can be checked in the user roles assigned to the user.
  Review Transaction Type Configuration: Check the configuration for the specific transaction type to see if the fields or tabs are set to be suppressed. Adjust the settings if necessary.
  Consult with Basis or Development Team: If there are custom developments, consult with the Basis or development team to ensure that there are no unintended consequences from custom code that might be suppressing the fields.
  Testing in Different Environments: If possible, test the transaction in a different environment (e.g., development or quality assurance) to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is environment-specific.
