• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_GUI890 - COMMIT or ROLLBACK are not permitted in the BAPI ?

  The SAP error message FTR_GUI890 indicates that a commit or rollback operation is not allowed within the context of a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface). This error typically arises when a BAPI is called, and there is an attempt to perform a database commit or rollback within the BAPI implementation.
  Cause:
  
  BAPI Restrictions: BAPIs are designed to be atomic operations that should not include explicit commit or rollback statements. The BAPI framework manages the transaction control, and any commit or rollback should be handled outside the BAPI.
  Improper Coding: If the BAPI implementation includes code that attempts to commit or rollback the transaction, it will trigger this error.
  Nested Calls: If a BAPI is called within another transaction that already has a commit or rollback, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove Commit/Rollback Statements: Review the BAPI implementation code and ensure that there are no explicit commit or rollback statements. The BAPI should only perform the necessary operations and return the results without managing transaction control.
  Use BAPI Transaction Management: If you need to manage transactions, do so outside the BAPI. Call the BAPI, and then handle the commit or rollback in the calling program or transaction.
  Check for Nested BAPI Calls: If your BAPI is being called from another BAPI or function module, ensure that the outer call does not attempt to manage transactions in a way that conflicts with the inner BAPI.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Review the SAP documentation on BAPIs to understand their intended use and transaction management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide guidance on best practices for BAPI implementation.
  Debugging: Use the SAP debugger to trace the execution of the BAPI and identify where the commit or rollback is being invoked.
  Transaction Management: Familiarize yourself with how transaction management works in SAP, especially in the context of BAPIs and function modules.
  
  By following these guidelines, you should be able to resolve the FTR_GUI890 error and ensure that your BAPI implementations adhere to SAP's best practices.
