• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SEU_MANAGER031 - Action is not supported here; use ADT ?

  The SAP error message SEU_MANAGER031 indicates that the action you are trying to perform is not supported in the current context and suggests using the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) instead. This error typically arises when you are working in the traditional SAP GUI environment, specifically in the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE38), and you attempt to use features or functionalities that are only available in the ADT environment.
  Cause:
  
  Contextual Limitation: The action you are trying to perform is not available in the classic ABAP Workbench. This could be due to the fact that certain modern development features are only supported in ADT.
  Development Environment: You might be using an outdated or incompatible version of the SAP GUI that does not support the features you are trying to access.
  Project Type: The project or object type you are working on may require the use of ADT for certain operations, especially if it involves newer programming paradigms or tools.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to ADT: If you are not already using it, switch to the ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse. ADT provides a more modern development environment with enhanced features and better support for new ABAP programming models.

  Connect to your SAP system using ADT.
  
  
  
  Check Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific action you are trying to perform to ensure that it is supported in ADT and to understand how to perform it correctly.
  
  
  Update SAP GUI: If you prefer to continue using the SAP GUI, ensure that you are using the latest version of the SAP GUI that is compatible with your SAP system. However, note that some features may still require ADT.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you believe you should be able to perform the action in the SAP GUI, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
