  The SAP error message RSM583 "No F4-help available (empty check table)" typically occurs when a user attempts to use the F4 help (value help) functionality in a field, but the system cannot provide any suggestions because the associated check table is empty. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a field is linked to a database table that does not contain any entries.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Check Table: The most common cause is that the check table associated with the field does not have any entries. This means there are no valid values for the F4 help to display.
  Incorrect Configuration: The check table may not be correctly configured in the data dictionary, or the field may not be properly linked to the check table.
  Data Deletion: Data may have been deleted from the check table, leading to an empty state.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the check table.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Check Table: 
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the contents of the check table. If it is empty, you may need to populate it with valid entries.

  Review Configuration: 
  
  Ensure that the field is correctly configured to point to the appropriate check table. This can be checked in the data element associated with the field.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
