• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN131 - FORM routine & could not be found in program & ?

  The SAP error message:
  VN131 FORM routine & could not be found in program &
  Explanation:
  
  
  Cause:
  
  This error occurs when the SAP system tries to call a FORM routine (a subroutine in ABAP) that does not exist in the specified program. The placeholders & are replaced by the actual FORM routine name and program name at runtime. Essentially, the program is trying to execute a FORM routine that is either misspelled, deleted, or never created.
  
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  This often happens in user exits, BADIs, or custom enhancements where a FORM routine is called but the routine is missing. It can also occur if a standard SAP program is modified or if a transport is incomplete.
  
  
  
  Cause Details
  
  The FORM routine name is incorrect or missing.
  The program name is incorrect or the program is not active.
  The FORM routine was deleted or not included in the program.
  A custom enhancement or user exit calls a FORM routine that is not implemented.
  Transport or system inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the FORM routine name and program name:
  
  Look at the error message details to identify which FORM routine and program are involved.
  
  
  Verify the FORM routine exists:  
  
  Go to transaction SE38 or SE80.
  Open the program mentioned in the error.
  Search for the FORM routine name.
  If it does not exist, you need to create it or correct the call.
  
  
  
  Correct the call to the FORM routine:  
  
  If the FORM routine name is misspelled in the code, fix the spelling.
  If the FORM routine is missing, implement it as required.
  
  
  
  Check for incomplete transports:  
  
  Sometimes, the FORM routine is part of a transport that was not imported correctly.
  Re-import the transport or check with your Basis team.
  
  
  
  Check custom enhancements or user exits:  
  
  If the error occurs in a user exit or enhancement, verify that the FORM routine is implemented.
  If not, implement the routine or remove the call.
  
  
  
  Activate the program:  
  
  Sometimes the program is inactive, so activate it in SE38 or SE80.
