  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VC800 - No value help supported for this field ?

    The SAP error message VC800 "No value help supported for this field" typically occurs when a user tries to access a value help (F4 help) for a field in a transaction or report, but the system does not provide any value help for that specific field. This can happen for several reasons:

    Causes:

    1. Field Configuration: The field may not be configured to provide value help in the underlying data dictionary (DDIC) or in the specific transaction.
    2. Data Type: The field's data type may not support value help. For example, certain custom fields or fields with specific data types may not have associated value help.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the value help for that field.
    4. Custom Development: If the field is part of a custom development (like a custom program or enhancement), the developer may not have implemented value help for that field.
    5. Field Context: The context in which the field is being used may not allow for value help, such as in certain selection screens or reports.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Field Configuration: Verify the field's configuration in the data dictionary (transaction SE11). Ensure that the field is set up correctly and that value help is defined.
    2. Review Data Type: Ensure that the data type of the field supports value help. If it is a custom field, consider implementing a suitable value help.
    3. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the value help. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
    4. Custom Development: If the field is part of a custom program, consult with the developer to see if value help can be implemented. This may involve creating a search help (transaction SE11) and linking it to the field.
    5. Alternative Input: If value help is not available, consider entering the value manually or using other means to find the correct value (e.g., using a report or transaction that lists possible values).

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), SU53 (Authorization Check), SE37 (Function Module).
    • Search Help: If you need to create or modify a search help, you can do so in transaction SE11 or SE80.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. You can search for VC800 in the SAP Support Portal.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further investigation.
