Summary :
SAP has identified issues with the use of the VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION function module, particularly when utilized in user exits and object dependencies. This function was initially intended for internal operations, specifically for data retrieval during IDoc processing and characteristic value assignment printing processes. To address these problems, SAP encourages the adoption of the new function module VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION_IBASE for user exits. This module furnishes configuration data in a structured format similar to VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION but lacks support for application views, print functionalities, and configuration profile considerations like alternate languages or interface designs. For implementation, users should utilize transaction SE37 to create and configure the new function, adhering to specific correction instructions provided for Release 4.6C and higher.
