• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/APPL_COMMON001 - &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/APPL_COMMON001 &1 does not exist typically indicates that a specific configuration or application component is missing or not properly defined in the system. This error can occur in various contexts, often related to configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The application component or configuration object referenced by &1 does not exist in the system. This could be due to a missing installation, incorrect configuration, or a transport issue.
  Incorrect Customization: If you have recently made changes to the configuration or customization settings, it is possible that the changes were not saved correctly or that they were applied to the wrong client.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was supposed to be transported from another system (e.g., development to production) and the transport did not occur successfully, this error may arise.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the configuration, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Verify that the configuration or application component referenced by &1 is indeed defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., SPRO) and checking the settings.
  Transport Requests: If the configuration is supposed to be in the system but is missing, check the transport requests to ensure that they were imported correctly. You may need to re-import the transport or check for errors in the transport logs.
  Client Settings: Ensure that you are working in the correct client. Sometimes, configurations are client-specific, and you may be looking in the wrong client.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and modify the configuration. You can check this using transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that might provide additional context for the issue.
