• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ON168 - Local object types are not displayed ?

  The SAP error message ON168 ("Local object types are not displayed") typically occurs when you are trying to view or work with local objects in the SAP system, but the system is configured not to display them. Local objects are development objects that are not transported to other systems and are usually created for testing or temporary purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Local Object Visibility: The system is configured to hide local objects (objects that are prefixed with a "$" sign) from the display. This is often done to prevent clutter in the object list and to focus on transportable objects.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view local objects.
  Development Environment Settings: The settings in the development environment (like the ABAP Workbench) may be configured to exclude local objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Display Settings:
  
  In the ABAP Workbench (SE80), you can change the settings to display local objects. Look for an option or checkbox that allows you to include local objects in the display.
  In some cases, you may need to adjust the filter settings in the object list to include local objects.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view local objects. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SE11 or SE37:
  
  If you are trying to view a specific object type (like a table or function module), you can directly use transactions like SE11 (for tables) or SE37 (for function modules) and specify the local object name to access it directly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to change the settings or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team. They may need to adjust system parameters or settings to allow for the display of local objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Local Objects: Local objects are typically used for development purposes and are not meant to be transported to other systems. They are useful for testing and prototyping.
  Transport Management: Understanding how transport management works in SAP can help clarify the purpose of local objects versus transportable objects.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes available.
