• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CUST035 - The table key must be filled ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CUST035 with the description "The table key must be filled" typically indicates that a required key field in a table is not populated when it should be. This error often occurs in custom development scenarios, particularly when working with custom tables or during data entry processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Fields: The error usually arises when a required key field in a database table is not filled in during an operation (like an insert or update).
  Custom Logic: If there is custom logic (like a user exit, BAdI, or enhancement) that modifies the behavior of standard transactions, it may inadvertently lead to this error.
  Data Entry Issues: Users may not be entering all required fields in a transaction or program that interacts with the table.
  Configuration Issues: If the table is part of a configuration that requires certain fields to be filled, and they are not, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Required Fields: Review the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to identify which fields are marked as required (key fields). Ensure that these fields are being populated correctly in your program or transaction.
  Debugging: If you are working with custom code, use the debugger to trace the execution and see where the key fields are not being filled. Look for any logic that might be skipping the population of these fields.
  User Training: If the error is occurring during data entry, ensure that users are trained to fill in all required fields.
  Review Custom Logic: If there are any custom enhancements or modifications, review them to ensure they are not interfering with the normal processing of the transaction.
  Check Transaction Configuration: If the error occurs in a specific transaction, check the configuration settings related to that transaction to ensure all required fields are correctly set up.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to check the transaction codes involved in the process where the error occurs. This can help narrow down the source of the issue.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
