The SAP error message
/AIF/MES245 Method &1 does not exist in class &2
typically indicates that the system is trying to call a method that is not defined in the specified class. This error is often encountered in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when there is a mismatch between the expected method and the actual implementation in the class.Causes:
- Missing Method Implementation: The method specified in the error message (
&1
) is not implemented in the class (&2
).- Incorrect Class Name: The class name provided may be incorrect or misspelled.
- Version Mismatch: The class may have been updated or changed in a way that the method is no longer available.
- Transport Issues: If the class was transported from another system, the transport may not have included the necessary method.
- Namespace Issues: The class might be in a different namespace than expected.
Solutions:
Check Method Implementation:
- Go to the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE24) and check if the method exists in the specified class.
- If it does not exist, you may need to implement it or correct the call to use an existing method.
Verify Class Name:
- Ensure that the class name is spelled correctly and that it is the correct class intended for the operation.
Review Version History:
- If the class has been modified, check the version history to see if the method was removed or renamed.
Transport Check:
- If the class was transported, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
Namespace Verification:
- Confirm that the class is in the correct namespace and that there are no conflicts with other classes.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
