  The SAP error message 6851 ("No table defined in Customizing for relevant master data changes") typically occurs when there is an attempt to make changes to master data, but the system cannot find the necessary configuration for the relevant table in the Customizing settings. This can happen in various modules, such as Material Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), or others, depending on the context of the operation.
  Cause:
