• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_TOOL058 - Function group & has not yet been created ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS_TOOL058 Function group & has not yet been created
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use or reference a function group in the ABAP Workbench or during development, but the function group has not been created or does not exist in the system yet.
  
  The system expects a function group with the specified name (& is a placeholder for the actual function group name) but cannot find it.
  This often happens when you try to create function modules or function groups that depend on a function group that hasn't been created.
  It can also occur if the function group was deleted or transport was incomplete.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Function Group:
  
  Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Select Function Group from the dropdown.
  Enter the name of the function group that is missing.
  If it does not exist, create it by choosing Create.
  Provide a short description and save it in a development package or local object ($TMP).
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the function group should have been transported from another system, verify the transport logs.
  Re-import the transport if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify function groups.
  
  
  
  Check for Typing Errors:
  
  Verify that the function group name is correctly spelled and referenced.
  
  
  
  If Function Group Exists:
  
  If the function group exists but the error persists, try to regenerate or activate the function group.
  Use transaction SE37 or SE80 to open the function group and activate it.
