  The SAP error message AD150 indicates that a specific table is not active, which means that the system cannot perform the requested action because the table is not in an active state. This error typically occurs in the context of data dictionary objects, such as database tables, views, or other related structures.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Table: The most common cause of this error is that the table in question has not been activated. This can happen if the table was recently created or modified and the activation process was not completed successfully.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from another system (e.g., from a development environment to a production environment), it may not have been activated in the target system.
