• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC708 - No listing performed because a link to layout module version exists ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC708 No listing performed because a link to layout module version exists
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or related modules when a report or listing is requested, but the system detects that the output is linked to a layout module version (e.g., a custom or standard layout variant or form). Because the output is controlled by this layout module version, the system does not perform the standard listing output.
  In other words, the system expects the output to be generated via the layout module (such as a Smart Form, SAPscript, or Adobe form), and therefore suppresses the usual listing output.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to generate a report or listing in APO or related modules.
  The report is configured to use a layout module version for output.
  The system finds the link to the layout module version and thus skips the standard listing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Output Configuration:
  
  Verify if the report or transaction is configured to use a layout module version.
  This can be done in the customizing or output control settings where the layout module version is assigned.
  
  
  
  If you want the standard listing:
  
  Remove or deactivate the link to the layout module version for the report.
  This will allow the system to perform the standard listing output.
  
  
  
  If you want to use the layout module version:
  
  Understand that the output will be generated via the layout module (e.g., a form).
  Check the layout module version for correctness and completeness.
  Execute the output accordingly (e.g., print or display the form).
  
  
  
  Check for Transport or Version Issues:
  
  Sometimes, the layout module version might be incorrectly assigned or missing.
  Ensure that the layout module version exists and is correctly transported to the system.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  There might be SAP Notes related to this message for specific versions or scenarios.
  Use transaction SNOTE to search for relevant notes.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error can appear in various APO transactions or report executions.
  Layout Module Version: This refers to a version of a form or layout used for output, such as Smart Forms, SAPscript, or Adobe Forms.
  Output Control: The mechanism in SAP that determines how outputs (print, email, listing) are generated.
  APO Reporting: In APO, reports can be linked to layout modules for formatted output.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: The system detects a link to a layout module version and therefore does not perform the standard listing.
  Solution: Either remove the link to the layout module version to get the standard listing or use the layout module output as intended.
  Check: Output configuration, layout module version existence, and SAP Notes for further guidance.
