• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0081 - Maintain the "Function module description" field ?

  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message W0081: "Maintain the 'Function module description' field":
  
  Error Message:
  W0081 Maintain the "Function module description" field
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are creating or modifying a function module in the SAP system, and the "Function module description" field has not been filled in.
  
  The function module description is a short text that describes the purpose or functionality of the function module.
  SAP requires this description to ensure that function modules are properly documented for easier identification and maintenance.
  Leaving this field empty triggers the warning message W0081.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the creation or change of a function module in transaction SE37 (Function Builder).
  When saving the function module without entering a description in the "Function module description" field.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this warning:
  
  
  Enter a meaningful description in the "Function module description" field.
  
  This field is located on the Attributes tab of the function module in SE37.
  Provide a concise and clear description of what the function module does.
  
  
  
  Save the function module after entering the description.
  
  
  The warning message will no longer appear once the description is maintained.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a warning message (W), not an error, so technically you can still save the function module without the description, but it is strongly recommended to maintain it for documentation and clarity.
  Proper documentation helps other developers and users understand the purpose of the function module.
  If you want to suppress this warning (not recommended), you could adjust message control settings, but this is generally discouraged as it reduces code/documentation quality.
