  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2054 - Error assigning screen numbers (are all numbers already assigned?) ?

    The SAP error message M2054, which states "Error assigning screen numbers (are all numbers already assigned?)", typically occurs when there is an issue with the screen number assignment in the SAP system. This can happen during the development of a custom transaction or when modifying existing screens.

    Cause:

    1. Exhausted Screen Number Range: SAP has a limited range of screen numbers (typically from 1000 to 9999). If all available screen numbers in the specified range are already assigned to other programs or transactions, you will encounter this error.
    2. Incorrect Screen Number Assignment: If you are trying to assign a screen number that is already in use or if there is a conflict in the screen number assignment.
    3. Development Environment Issues: Sometimes, issues in the development environment or transport requests can lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Screen Numbers: Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the existing screen numbers assigned to your program or other programs. Ensure that the screen number you are trying to assign is not already in use.
    2. Use a Different Screen Number: If the screen number you are trying to use is already assigned, choose a different number that is not in use. You can check the range of available screen numbers.
    3. Screen Number Management: If you are developing a new screen, consider using a higher range of screen numbers (e.g., above 9000) if your organization allows it, as these are less likely to be in use.
    4. Transport Requests: If the issue arises during a transport, ensure that all related objects are included in the transport request and that there are no inconsistencies in the development environment.
    5. Check for Conflicts: Ensure that there are no conflicts with other developers or projects that might be using the same screen numbers.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE38 (ABAP Editor) can be used to manage and check screen numbers.
    • Screen Number Ranges: Familiarize yourself with the screen number ranges used in your organization to avoid conflicts.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to screen number assignments.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on screen programming and the use of screen numbers for best practices.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance.
