Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FUNC_ADT025 - Enhanced or modified function modules cannot be edited ?

  The SAP error message FUNC_ADT025 indicates that you are trying to edit an enhanced or modified function module in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) environment, but the system is preventing you from doing so. This is a common restriction in SAP to ensure that the integrity of enhanced or modified function modules is maintained.
  Cause:
  
  Enhanced or Modified Function Module: The function module you are trying to edit has been enhanced or modified. SAP restricts direct editing of these function modules to prevent unintended changes that could affect the enhancements or modifications.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to edit enhanced or modified function modules.
  Development Class: The function module may belong to a development class that has restrictions on editing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use the Enhancement Framework: If you need to make changes to the functionality of the function module, consider using the enhancement framework (e.g., BAdIs, user exits) instead of directly modifying the function module.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to edit function modules. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your roles and permissions.
  Use Transaction SE37: If you need to view the function module, you can use transaction SE37 to display it. However, you will not be able to edit it directly if it is enhanced or modified.
  Create a Copy: If you need to make changes, consider creating a copy of the function module (if allowed) and then modifying the copy. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to maintenance challenges.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module to understand the implications of any changes you wish to make.
