• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISSR591 - If field &3 is initial, &1 (value: &2) must also be initial ?

  The SAP error message ISSR591 typically indicates a validation issue where a certain field (denoted as &3) is expected to be filled only if another field (denoted as &1) has a specific value (in this case, &2). The error suggests that if the first field is empty (initial), then the second field must also be empty.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Field &3 is empty (initial).
  Field &1 has a value (not initial), which violates the business logic or validation rules defined in the system.
  
  This situation often arises in scenarios where certain fields are interdependent, meaning that the value of one field determines the requirement for another field.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Values: Review the values entered in the fields involved:
  
  Ensure that if field &3 is empty, field &1 should also be empty.
  If field &1 has a value, then field &3 must be filled accordingly.
