• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL836 - Message class &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message ICL836, which states "Message class &1 does not exist," typically indicates that the system is trying to access a message class that has not been defined or is not available in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a program, transaction, or when trying to display messages that are supposed to be part of a specific message class.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Message Class: The specified message class (denoted by &1 in the error message) has not been created or is not available in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might be configured incorrectly, leading to the reference of a non-existent message class.
  Transport Issues: If the message class was supposed to be transported from a development environment to a production environment, it might not have been included in the transport request.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain message classes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Message Class: 
  
  Use transaction SE91 (Message Class Maintenance) to check if the message class exists. If it does not exist, you may need to create it.
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can create a new message class and define the required messages.
  
  
  
  Transport Request: 
  
  If the message class is supposed to exist but is missing, check the transport requests to ensure that the message class was included and successfully transported to the target system.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the message class. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
