  Error Message
  VHU01062: F4 help could not be activated - no values found
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to display the F4 help (value help or search help) for a particular field, but no valid entries or values are found in the underlying table or data source. Essentially, the F4 help list is empty, so SAP cannot show any selectable values.
  Common causes include:
  
  The underlying table or view for the F4 help is empty or does not contain any relevant data.
  The search help is incorrectly assigned or configured.
  The selection criteria or parameters for the F4 help are too restrictive, resulting in no data.
  Authorization issues preventing the user from seeing the data.
  Custom or user-exit code filtering out all values.
  The F4 help is linked to a dynamic search help that fails to return data.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the underlying data:
  
  Verify that the table or view used by the F4 help contains data.
  Use transaction SE16/SE16N to check the relevant table entries.
  
  
  
  Check the search help assignment:
  
  Use transaction SE11 to check the data element or domain of the field.
  Verify the assigned search help and ensure it is correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Test the search help directly:
  
  Use transaction SE11 or SE80 to test the search help independently.
  Confirm that it returns values when executed without restrictions.
  
  
  
  Review selection criteria:
  
  If the F4 help uses parameters or filters, check if these are too restrictive or incorrectly set.
  Adjust or remove filters to allow values to be displayed.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to view the data.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check for authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Check for custom code or user-exits:
  
  Review any enhancements, user-exits, or BAdIs that might influence the F4 help.
  Debug the F4 help call to see if custom code filters out all values.
  
  
  
  Check for dynamic search help issues:
  
  If the F4 help is dynamic, verify the logic that populates the values.
  Debug or analyze the dynamic search help to ensure it returns data.
