  Appl. & - Problem during data retrieval - Table/structure &
  
  Meaning / Cause
  
  The error message VN115 indicates that there was a problem during the retrieval of data from a specific table or structure in the SAP system.
  The placeholders & in the message are replaced at runtime with:
  
  The application component or module name (e.g., MM, FI, SD).
  The name of the table or structure from which data retrieval failed.
  
  
  This usually happens when the system tries to read data from a database table or structure but encounters an issue such as:
  
  The table or structure does not exist or is not accessible.
  Authorization issues preventing data access.
  Data inconsistencies or corruption.
  Incorrect or missing parameters in the function/module call.
  Transport or system inconsistencies (e.g., missing objects after a transport).
  Technical problems like database locks or connection issues.
  
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  During vendor master data processing (since the message class VN is related to Vendor Master).
  When calling standard SAP function modules or BAPIs that read vendor-related data.
  When custom code or enhancements try to access vendor tables but pass incorrect parameters or the tables are not available.
  After system upgrades or transports where some tables or structures might have changed or are not yet activated.
  
  
  Solution / Troubleshooting Steps
  
  
  Check the Full Error Message:
  
  Look at the exact application and table/structure names in the message.
  This will help identify which data retrieval failed.
  
  
  
  Verify Table/Structure Existence:
  
  Use transaction SE11 to check if the table or structure exists in the system.
  If missing, check transport logs or system upgrade status.

  Identify the program, report, or function module that triggered the error.
  Debug or check the code to see what parameters are passed and how the data retrieval is done.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on vendor master data (e.g., transaction XK03, FK03).
  Use standard SAP reports or tools to check for data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check System Logs and Dumps:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for short dumps related to this error.
