• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN068 - Processing routine & in program & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  VN068: Processing routine & in program & does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to call a processing routine (a function module or form routine) during vendor master data processing, but the specified routine does not exist in the indicated program. Typically, this happens if:
  
  The processing routine name is incorrectly specified in the configuration.
  The routine was deleted or not implemented.
  There is a mismatch between the routine name and the program.
  Customizing or user-exit enhancements refer to a non-existent routine.
  
  In vendor master data processing (transaction XK01/XK02/XK03 or related), SAP uses processing routines to validate or modify data. These routines are defined in configuration or user-exits.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the routine name and program:
  
  Identify the routine name and program mentioned in the error message.
  Verify if the routine exists in the program (e.g., in SE38 or SE80).
  If it is a form routine, check the include or program for the routine.
  If it is a function module, check in SE37.
  
  
  
  Correct the routine name in configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant IMG node where the processing routine is assigned.
  For vendor master, check under:
  
  Logistics ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Vendor Master ? Control ? Define Processing Routines
  
  
  Ensure the routine name and program are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Implement or restore the routine:
  
  If the routine is missing, implement it as per the business requirement.
  If it was deleted accidentally, restore it from backup or transport.
  
  
  
  Check user-exits or BAdIs:
  
  Sometimes, custom enhancements call routines.
  Review any user-exits (e.g., EXIT_SAPMF02D_001) or BAdIs related to vendor master.
  Ensure the routines they call exist.
  
  
  
  Transport issues:
  
  If the system was recently transported, check if the routine was included.
  Re-transport or manually create the routine if missing.

  Transaction codes: XK01, XK02, XK03 (Vendor Master)
  IMG path: Logistics ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Vendor Master ? Control ? Define Processing Routines
  User-exits: EXIT_SAPMF02D_001, EXIT_SAPMF02D_002, etc.
  SAP Notes: Search for VN068 in SAP Support Portal for any specific notes or patches.
  Debugging: Use debugging to see where the call to the routine is made and verify parameters.
  
  
  Summary:
  The VN068 error indicates a missing processing routine during vendor master processing. Verify and correct the routine name and program in configuration or user-exits, and ensure the routine exists and is active in the system.
