• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LSOPV635 - The menu cannot call itself ?

  The SAP error message LSOPV635 ("The menu cannot call itself") typically occurs when there is a configuration issue in the SAP menu or when a menu item is set up to call itself, leading to a recursive loop. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when customizing the SAP Easy Access menu or when creating transaction codes that reference themselves.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive Menu Call: The most common cause is that a menu item is configured to call itself, either directly or indirectly.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an error in the configuration of the menu paths or transaction codes.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or transactions that are incorrectly set up, they might inadvertently reference themselves.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Menu Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access menu and check the configuration of the menu items.
  Ensure that no menu item is set to call itself. This can be done by reviewing the transaction codes and their associated menu paths.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Codes:
  
  If you have custom transaction codes, verify that they do not point back to themselves.
  Use transaction code SE93 to check the transaction codes and their definitions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Custom Programs:
  
  If the error is related to a custom program, review the code to ensure that it does not inadvertently call itself or create a loop.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the menu or transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the menu items and transactions.
