• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1X183 - Generating structure &. Cannot save ?

  The SAP error message 1X183 typically indicates an issue related to the generation of a structure in the ABAP Dictionary. This error can occur when there are inconsistencies or problems with the data dictionary objects, such as tables, views, or structures.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary Objects: The structure you are trying to generate may have inconsistencies with the underlying database or other related objects.
  Missing Dependencies: There may be missing or invalid dependencies, such as fields or data elements that the structure relies on.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation.
  Transport Issues: If the structure is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database connection or the database itself.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Inconsistencies: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure and its dependencies. Look for any inconsistencies or errors in the definition.
