• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GH604 - No exit program has been defined ?

  The SAP error message GH604 ("No exit program has been defined") typically occurs in the context of SAP's handling of user exits or enhancements, particularly when a specific exit program has not been defined for a particular process or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error usually indicates that there is no exit program configured for the specific user exit or enhancement point that is being called.
  Incorrect Customization: If a custom program or function module is expected to be executed but is not defined in the system, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If the exit program was supposed to be transported from another system and the transport did not occur successfully, this error may arise.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define the Exit Program:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SMOD for user exits or CMOD for project management).
  Check if the exit program is defined for the user exit you are trying to use.
  If it is not defined, you may need to create a new project or enhance an existing one to include the necessary exit program.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code:
  
  If you have custom code that is supposed to be executed, ensure that it is correctly implemented and activated.
  Verify that the custom code is linked to the appropriate user exit.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or process you are working with to ensure that you have followed all necessary steps for configuration.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the exit program was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully imported.
  If it was not, you may need to re-transport the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
