  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+651 - Layout module & not available ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W+651 Layout module & not available


    Cause:

    This warning message typically occurs when SAP tries to access a layout module (such as a form layout, print layout, or screen layout) that is not available or not found in the system. The placeholder & in the message is replaced by the name of the missing layout module.

    Common causes include:

    • The layout module was deleted or not transported to the current system.
    • The layout module name is incorrectly specified in the program or configuration.
    • The layout module exists but is inactive or corrupted.
    • Missing or incorrect assignment of the layout module in the print or output configuration.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Layout Module Name:
      Verify the exact name of the layout module that SAP is trying to access. This is usually displayed in the message replacing the & symbol.

    2. Verify Existence in the System:

      • Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE71 (SAPscript form painter) to check if the layout module exists.
      • For Smart Forms, use SMARTFORMS transaction to check the form and its layout modules.
    3. Transport or Recreate the Layout Module:

      • If the layout module is missing, transport it from the development system or recreate it if necessary.
      • Ensure the layout module is active and correctly maintained.
    4. Check Configuration:

      • Review the print or output configuration where the layout module is assigned.
      • Correct any incorrect references to the layout module name.
    5. Check Authorizations:

      • Sometimes, missing authorizations can cause SAP to behave as if the layout module is not available. Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to access the layout module.
    6. Debugging:

      • If the cause is unclear, debugging the program or print program can help identify where the layout module is called and why it is not found.

    Related Information:

    • SAPscript Forms: Layout modules are part of SAPscript forms and define the layout of pages or windows.
    • Smart Forms: Similar concept but managed via SMARTFORMS transaction.
    • Print Programs: Often call layout modules to format output.
    • Transport Management: Missing transports can cause layout modules to be unavailable in target systems.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific layout module or print program.

    Summary:

    The error message W+651 Layout module & not available indicates that SAP cannot find the specified layout module. The solution involves verifying the existence and correctness of the layout module, ensuring it is active and properly assigned, and transporting or recreating it if missing.


    If you provide the exact layout module name or the context (e.g., print program, form name), I can help with more specific guidance.
