• Message number: 125

What causes this issue?

The MOTAB field in Customizing table T5D7G cannot be converted since
custom fixed values have been added to the field (customer
modification).
For this reason, the relevant table entry cannot be written to the new
table T5D87 and has to be maintained manually.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

As of Release 4.0C, the previously used fixed values are entered in
table T5D86, which contains a special customer namespace for defining
new functions.
You can also make your enhancements in this table (for each fixed value
of the MOTAB field, a separate function has to be created in the
customer namespace) and then insert those entries from table T5D7G into
table T5D87 that were not inserted automatically.
