• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER272 - Parameter with id &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WER272: Parameter with id &1 does not exist
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a program or function module tries to access a parameter ID (parameter ID = PID) that is not defined in the system. Parameter IDs are used in SAP to store user-specific values (like default values for fields) in the user master record, so that these values can be automatically filled in input fields.
  If the parameter ID being referenced does not exist in the system's parameter ID table (usually table TPARA), or if it has not been maintained properly, the system raises this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Parameter IDs are maintained in transaction SU3 (User Profile) under the "Parameters" tab.
  The system uses parameter IDs to store and retrieve user-specific default values.
  When a program tries to read or write a parameter ID that is not defined in the system, it triggers this error.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the parameter ID:
  
  Identify the parameter ID causing the error
