• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VT008 - Source was set on F because only one FORM routine was specified ?

  The SAP error message VT008 indicates that the source was set to "F" (for "Function Module") because only one FORM routine was specified in the context of a transport request or a program. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming when defining a transportable object or when working with function modules and FORM routines.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system expects multiple FORM routines but only one is provided. In SAP, FORM routines are used to encapsulate reusable code blocks, and the system may require a specific structure or multiple routines for certain operations. If only one FORM routine is defined, the system defaults the source to "F" to indicate that it is a function module.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VT008 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Code: Review the ABAP code where the FORM routines are defined. Ensure that you have defined the necessary FORM routines as required
