• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD138 - No other versions of form & exist ?

  The SAP error message TD138 ("No other versions of form & exist") typically occurs when you are trying to access or modify a form (such as a Smart Form or SAPscript) that does not have any other versions available in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to create a new version of a form or when you are attempting to display a form that has not been properly defined or saved.
  Cause:
  
  No Existing Versions: The form you are trying to access does not have any existing versions. This can happen if the form was never saved or if it was deleted.
  Incorrect Form Name: You may be trying to access a form with an incorrect name or identifier.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing you from accessing the form or its versions.
  Transport Issues: If the form was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing versions.

  Check Naming: Ensure that you are using the correct name for the form. Double-check for any typos or discrepancies in the form name.
