• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message I0038 - No object structure exists for reference object: Function not possible ?

  The SAP error message I0038 ("No object structure exists for reference object: Function not possible") typically occurs when there is an attempt to access or manipulate an object structure that has not been defined or does not exist in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with data models, object-oriented programming, or specific transactions that require certain object structures to be in place.
  Causes:

  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to access the object structure. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
