• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GOX_OBJECTS_GENERATE138 - Function group &1 still contains function modules ?

  The SAP error message GOX_OBJECTS_GENERATE138 indicates that a function group still contains function modules, which prevents the generation of the function group. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete or regenerate a function group that has not been completely cleaned up.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Function Modules: The function group you are trying to delete or regenerate still has function modules associated with it. This means that the function group is not empty, and SAP does not allow the deletion or regeneration of a function group that contains function modules.
  Inconsistent State: There may be an inconsistency in the system where the function group is not properly recognized as empty, even if you believe you have deleted the function modules.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Modules: 
  
  Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE37 (Function Module) and check if there are any function modules still associated with the function group.
  If there are function modules, you need to delete them or move them to another function group if they are still needed.
  
  
  
  Delete Function Modules:
  
  If you find function modules that are no longer needed, delete them using transaction SE37.
  Make sure to activate the changes after deletion.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Function Group:
  
  After ensuring that all function modules have been deleted, try regenerating the function group again.
  You can do this by going to transaction SE80, selecting the function group, and choosing the "Generate" option.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other objects (like includes or other function groups) that depend on the function modules you are trying to delete.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a transport environment, ensure that all changes are properly released and that there are no pending transport requests that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Function Groups: A function group is a container for function modules in SAP. It allows you to group related function modules together.
  Function Modules: These are reusable pieces of code that can be called from other programs or function modules.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator), SE37 (Function Module), and SE11 (Data Dictionary) for managing and navigating SAP objects.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, consider checking SAP Notes or reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
