• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 53740 - Inconsistency in table indicators of form &1 ?

  The SAP error message 53740, which states "Inconsistency in table indicators of form &1," typically indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the data related to a specific form in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when dealing with forms in SAPscript, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The error often arises when the indicators or settings for a form are not aligned with the actual data or configuration in the system. This could be due to changes made to the form or its associated data without proper updates to the indicators.
  Transport Issues: If the form was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies if the transport did not include all necessary objects or if the target system is not properly configured.
  Version Mismatch: If multiple versions of the form exist, the system may be referencing an outdated or incorrect version.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Form Configuration: Review the configuration of the form in question. Ensure that all necessary settings and indicators are correctly defined and consistent with the data.
  Recreate or Adjust the Form: If the form is corrupted or has inconsistencies, consider recreating it or adjusting the existing form to resolve the issues.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all related objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the form or related objects.
  Consistency Check: Use transaction codes like SE71 (SAPscript) or SMARTFORMS (Smart Forms) to check for inconsistencies in the form definitions and indicators.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, you may need to debug the program or function module that is calling the form to identify where the inconsistency is occurring.
