  The SAP error message PDM006 ("No fields defined for field group &1") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Data Management (PDM) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a field group in the PDM system, specifically that the field group referenced does not have any fields defined for it.
  Cause:
  
  Field Group Configuration: The field group specified in the error message does not have any fields assigned to it. This could be due to incorrect configuration or a missing setup.
  Data Model Issues: The data model may not be properly defined, leading to the absence of fields in the specified field group.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, it might not have included the necessary field definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the field group in the PDM module.
  Verify that the field group specified in the error message has fields assigned to it.
  If no fields are defined, you will need to add the necessary fields to the field group.

  If you are unsure about the required fields, consult the documentation or a functional consultant familiar with the PDM setup.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If fields were omitted, you may need to re-transport the configuration or manually add the missing fields.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:

  Look for any specific notes or updates related to the version of SAP you are using.
  
  
  
  Testing:
