• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LAY090 - Module &2 was replaced by module &3 in layout &1 ?

  The SAP error message LAY090 indicates that there is a problem with the layout configuration in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that a module (identified by &2) has been replaced by another module (identified by &3) in the specified layout (identified by &1). This typically occurs in the context of SAP Smart Forms or SAPscript, where layouts are used to define the structure and appearance of printed documents.
  Cause:
  
  Module Replacement: The error arises when a module that is referenced in a layout has been replaced or is no longer valid. This can happen due to changes in the system, such as updates or modifications to the layout or the modules themselves.
  Configuration Changes: Changes made to the layout configuration or the underlying data structure can lead to this error if the references are not updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the layout or module was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the corresponding modules were not included or were changed, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Layout Configuration: Review the layout configuration in the SAP system to ensure that all referenced modules are valid and exist in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SMARTFORMS for Smart Forms).
  Update References: If a module has been replaced, update the layout to reference the new module. This may involve editing the layout and changing the module references accordingly.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all necessary objects (layouts, modules, etc.) are included in the transport request and that they are consistent across the systems (development, quality, production).
  Testing: After making changes, test the layout to ensure that it functions correctly without errors.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on whether you are using Smart Forms or SAPscript, you may use transaction codes like SMARTFORMS for Smart Forms or SE71 for SAPscript to access and modify layouts.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for Smart Forms or SAPscript for detailed information on how to manage layouts and modules.
