• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISSR_TP840 - Settings at field level for ALV Grid not maintained ?

  The SAP error message ISSR_TP840 indicates that the settings at the field level for the ALV (ABAP List Viewer) Grid are not maintained. This typically occurs when you are trying to display data in an ALV Grid and the configuration for the fields to be displayed is incomplete or missing.
  Cause:
  
  Field Configuration Missing: The ALV Grid requires specific field configurations to be defined in the program or the data dictionary. If these configurations are not set, the error will occur.
  Data Element Issues: The data elements or structures used in the ALV may not have the necessary attributes defined.

  Check Field Catalog: Ensure that the field catalog for the ALV Grid is properly defined. This includes specifying the field names, data types, and any additional attributes required for display.
  
  You can do this by reviewing the code where the ALV is being defined, typically using the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY or similar function modules.
  
  
  
  Maintain Field Settings: If you are using a standard SAP report, check if there are any configuration settings in the customizing transaction (like SE11 for Data Dictionary) that need to be maintained for the fields being used in the ALV.
  
  
  Review Data Elements: Ensure that the data elements and structures used in the ALV are correctly defined and activated in the Data Dictionary.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the program to see where the ALV Grid is being initialized and check for any missing configurations.
