• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK672 - Screen & is not a subscreen ?

  The SAP error message VK672, which states "Screen & is not a subscreen," typically occurs in the context of SAP's screen programming, particularly when dealing with custom screens or modifications in transaction codes related to sales and distribution (SD) or other modules.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Screen Configuration: The screen you are trying to access is not defined as a subscreen in the program or module pool. This can happen if the screen number is incorrectly specified or if the screen is not properly linked to the main screen.
  
  
  Missing Subscreen Definition: The subscreen may not have been defined in the screen painter or may not be included in the main screen's flow logic.
  
  
  Program Logic Issues: There may be issues in the ABAP code that handles the screen navigation, leading to an attempt to call a screen that is not set up as a subscreen.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the screen was recently transported from one system to another, it may not have been properly included in the transport request, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VK672 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Screen Configuration:
  
  Go to the screen painter (SE80 or SE41) and verify that the screen number you are trying to access is indeed defined as a subscreen.
  Ensure that the screen is correctly linked to the main screen in the flow logic.
  
  
  
  Review Flow Logic:
  
  Check the flow logic of the main screen to ensure that it correctly calls the subscreen. Look for the CALL SUBSCREEN statement and verify that the screen number is correct.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the debugger to trace the program execution and identify where the error occurs. This can help pinpoint the exact location in the code that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any documentation related to the custom development or modifications that may have been made to the screens in question.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator), SE41 (Menu Painter), and SE38 (ABAP Editor) for screen and program management.
  Screen Painter: Understanding how to use the screen painter tool is crucial for creating and modifying screens in SAP.
  ABAP Programming: Knowledge of ABAP programming is essential for troubleshooting and modifying the logic that controls screen navigation.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP technical consultant or developer who can provide more in-depth assistance.
