• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD143 - Table & was deleted ?

  The SAP error message AD143, which states "Table & was deleted," typically indicates that a database table that the system is trying to access has been deleted or is no longer available in the database. This can occur for various reasons, such as:
  Causes:
  
  Manual Deletion: The table may have been manually deleted by a user with the necessary permissions.
  Transport Issues: A transport request may have been incorrectly configured, leading to the deletion of the table in the target system.
  Data Dictionary Changes: Changes in the data dictionary (e.g., during a system upgrade or modification) may have led to the table being dropped.
  System Corruption: In rare cases, system corruption or issues during a database operation could lead to the loss of a table.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Table Existence: Verify if the table still exists in the database. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser).
  Restore from Backup: If the table was deleted and is critical, you may need to restore it from a backup if one is available.
  Transport Request: If the deletion was due to a transport issue, check the transport logs and ensure that the correct transport requests are applied.
  Recreate the Table: If the table is not recoverable, you may need to recreate it manually using the Data Dictionary (SE11) if you have the necessary definitions and data structure.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. Sometimes, the error may arise due to permission issues rather than the table being deleted.
  Consult Logs: Check system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or messages that could provide more context on why the table was deleted.
