  The SAP error message AD136, which states "Activate dependent table &," typically occurs when there is an issue with the activation of a table or a related object in the SAP system. This error is often encountered during the development or modification of database tables, views, or other data dictionary objects.
  Cause:
  
  Dependent Objects: The error usually indicates that there are dependent objects (like views, indexes, or other tables) that need to be activated before the main table can be activated.
  Inconsistent State: The table or its dependent objects may be in an inconsistent state due to previous errors during activation or changes made to the data dictionary.

  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects have been transported correctly and are in sync with the development environment.
