• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFAC_ADT001 - Refactoring of multiused Includes is not supported ?

  The SAP error message RFAC_ADT001 indicates that there is an issue with refactoring multi-used includes in ABAP Development Tools (ADT). This typically occurs when you attempt to refactor an include program that is used in multiple places, and the system does not support this operation due to the potential impact on the various programs that reference it.
  Cause:
  
  Multi-Usage of Includes: The include program you are trying to refactor is included in multiple programs or function modules. Refactoring could lead to inconsistencies or unintended changes in all the programs that use this include.
  Refactoring Limitations: The refactoring tool in ADT has limitations when it comes to handling includes that are shared across multiple objects, as it cannot guarantee the integrity of the changes across all usages.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Manual Refactoring: Instead of using the automated refactoring tool, manually edit the include program. This involves:
  
  Identifying all the programs that include the specific include.
  Making the necessary changes in the include.
  Testing all dependent programs to ensure they function correctly after the changes.
  
  
  
  Create a New Include: If the changes are significant, consider creating a new include that contains the refactored code. Update the programs that reference the old include to use the new one, ensuring that you test all affected programs.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Use the ABAP Workbench (SE80) or the Object Navigator to check where the include is used. This will help you understand the impact of any changes you make.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or community forums for any updates or best practices regarding refactoring includes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Development Tools (ADT): Familiarize yourself with the capabilities and limitations of ADT, especially regarding refactoring.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Testing: Always ensure thorough testing after making changes to includes, especially when they are used in multiple programs, to avoid runtime errors or unexpected behavior.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RFAC_ADT001 error effectively.
