• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0082 - Do not maintain the "Function module description" field ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W0082 – Do not maintain the "Function module description" field
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to manually maintain or change the "Function module description" field in the function module attributes (transaction SE37 or SE80). The description field is system-generated and should not be edited directly by the user.
  The system automatically derives the function module description from the function group description or from the function module interface and other metadata. Manually changing this field is not allowed because it can lead to inconsistencies or conflicts in the repository.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Do not manually edit the "Function module description" field.
  
  Leave this field blank or as generated by the system.
  
  
  If you want to change the description of the function module, you should:
  
  Change the function group description (transaction SE80 or SE37, navigate to the function group and edit its description).
  Or maintain the function module documentation (via SE37 ? Documentation tab) to provide detailed information about the function module.
  
  
  
  After changing the function group description or documentation, the function module description will be updated accordingly by the system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  The function module description is a system-maintained field and is not intended for manual input.
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so it does not prevent saving but advises best practice.
  The function module description is used in various SAP tools and reports to identify the function module.
  For detailed documentation, always use the Documentation tab in SE37 or SE80.
  If you want to provide meaningful descriptions, maintain the function group description or the function module documentation instead.
