  The SAP error message VLBAPI003 indicates that a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) processing was terminated for debugging purposes. This typically occurs when a BAPI is executed in a debugging mode, and the system is set to stop processing to allow developers to analyze the execution flow or to troubleshoot issues.
