• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMARTFORMS405 - Style & was deleted ?

  The SAP error message "SMARTFORMS405: Style & was deleted" typically occurs when you are trying to use a style in a Smart Form that has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in the development environment, transport issues, or manual deletions.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Style: The style you are trying to use in your Smart Form has been deleted from the system.
  Transport Issues: If the Smart Form was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the associated style was not included in the transport request, it may lead to this error.
  Development Changes: Changes made in the development environment that were not properly managed or documented can lead to missing styles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Style Existence:
  
  Go to transaction SMARTFORMS and check if the style you are trying to use is still available.
  If it is missing, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Style:
  
  If the style is indeed deleted, you can recreate it using transaction SE78 (for SAPscript styles) or SMARTFORMS (for Smart Forms styles).
  Ensure that the new style has the same properties as the original if you need to maintain consistency.
  
  
  
  Transport the Style:
  
  If the style exists in another system (like development), ensure that it is included in the transport request and properly transported to the target system.
  
  
  
  Modify the Smart Form:
  
  If the style is not critical, you can modify the Smart Form to use a different style that is available in the system.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the deleted style in other Smart Forms or SAPscript forms.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SMARTFORMS: To create or modify Smart Forms.
  SE78: To manage SAPscript styles.
