• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 87200 - Form & is not active. ?

  The SAP error message "87200 Form & is not active" typically indicates that a specific form (often a print form or layout) that is being referenced in a transaction or process is not currently active in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to print documents, generate reports, or execute certain functions that rely on forms.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Form: The form specified in the error message is not activated in the SAP system. This can happen if the form was recently created or modified and has not been activated yet.
  Missing Form: The form may not exist in the system at all, either due to deletion or because it was never created.
  Transport Issues: If the form was transported from another system (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or activate the form.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Form:
  
  Go to the transaction code SMARTFORMS or SE71 (for SAPscript forms).

  For Smart Forms, you can do this by selecting the form and clicking on the "Activate" button.
  
  
  
  Check for Existence:
  
  Ensure that the form actually exists in the system. If it does not, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  
  
  
  Transport the Form:
  
  If the form was supposed to be transported from another environment, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully transported and activated.
