• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN067 - This application is not designed to sort messages ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN067 - This application is not designed to sort messages
  
  Cause:
  The error message VN067 occurs when a user attempts to sort messages in an SAP application or transaction where sorting of messages is not supported or implemented. This typically happens in message lists or logs where the system does not allow sorting by columns or fields because the underlying program or application logic does not handle sorting operations for those messages.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, certain message lists or output screens display messages generated during processing.
  Some applications or transactions allow sorting these messages by clicking on column headers or using sort functions.
  However, in some applications, the message list is generated in a fixed order (e.g., chronological or by message priority), and the program does not support sorting.
  When a user tries to sort such a message list, the system raises the VN067 error to indicate that sorting is not possible.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Do not attempt to sort messages in the application or transaction where this error occurs.
  Review the messages in the order they are presented.
  If sorting or filtering of messages is required, check if there is an alternative transaction or report that supports such functionality.
  Alternatively, export the messages to an external tool (e.g., Excel) for sorting and analysis.
  If sorting is critical and the application is custom-developed, consult with your SAP developer or BASIS team to see if the program can be enhanced to support sorting.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational and indicates a limitation of the application.
  It is not an error that affects system stability or data integrity.
  The message class is usually VN (Vendor-related messages).
  Similar messages may appear in other SAP modules where message sorting is not supported.
  For further details, check SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal for the specific transaction or module you are working with.
