Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Object Type: The object you are trying to access (e.g., in a report, program, or transaction) is not a transparent table, projection view, or database view. It could be a cluster table, pool table, or some other type of object that is not directly accessible in the way you are attempting.
  Incorrect Object Reference: You may have referenced the wrong table or view in your code or configuration.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the error can also arise due to insufficient authorizations to access the specified object.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Object Type:
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the type of the object you are trying to access. Ensure that it is a transparent table, projection view, or database view.
  If it is a cluster or pool table, you will need to find an alternative way to access the data, such as using the appropriate function modules or views.
  
  
  
  Correct the Reference:
  
  If you have mistakenly referenced the wrong object, update your code or configuration to point to the correct transparent table or view.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Access Methods:
  
  If you need to access data from a cluster or pool table, consider using the appropriate SAP function modules or APIs designed for that purpose (e.g., using SE16 or SE16N for data browsing).
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific object you are trying to access and the correct methods for interacting with it.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Data Dictionary: Familiarize yourself with the types of database objects in SAP, including transparent tables, cluster tables, and pool tables.
  Function Modules: Look for function modules that can help you retrieve data from non-transparent tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a suitable solution. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
