VR126 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  VR126 - There are no fields in the selected layout
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use or print a form layout (such as a SAPscript or Smart Form layout) that does not contain any fields or elements to display data. Essentially, the layout is empty or not properly assigned with fields, so SAP cannot find any data to output.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  The selected layout (form) is empty or has no text elements or windows defined.  
  The layout is not correctly assigned to the output type or message type.  
  The form was created but no fields or placeholders were inserted.  
  The layout is inactive or not generated properly.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Layout Content:  
  
  Go to the form layout (SAPscript or Smart Form) in the respective transaction (e.g., SE71 for SAPscript, SMARTFORMS for Smart Forms).  
  Verify that the layout contains windows, text elements, and fields/placeholders.
