  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB144 - Check table is not populated: No F4 help possible for text field ?

    The SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB144 indicates that the system is unable to provide F4 help (value help) for a text field because the relevant check table is not populated. This typically occurs in scenarios where a field is expected to have a list of valid entries, but the underlying table that should contain these entries is empty or not properly configured.

    Cause:

    1. Empty Check Table: The check table that is supposed to provide the values for the field is empty. This can happen if the necessary data has not been maintained in the table.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the field or the check table in the relevant SAP module.
    3. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the check table.
    4. Data Transport Issues: If the system is newly set up or if there have been recent transports, the data might not have been transported correctly.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Data: Verify that the check table associated with the field is populated with the necessary data. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view the table and check its contents.
    2. Maintain Data: If the table is empty, you will need to maintain the necessary entries. This can usually be done through a customizing transaction or directly in the table if you have the necessary authorizations.
    3. Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the field and the check table to ensure they are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the relevant customizing transactions.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data in the check table.
    5. Transport Issues: If the issue arose after a transport, check if the transport included the necessary data. If not, you may need to re-transport the data or manually enter it.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), and SPRO (Customizing) can be useful for checking and maintaining data.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
