AD521 - Details

• The SAP error message AD521 indicates that there are partially active tables for a specific data element. This typically occurs during the activation of a data element or domain when there are inconsistencies in the database tables that are supposed to be linked to that data element.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Activation: The data element or domain may have been partially activated, meaning that some of the associated database tables are not fully active or have not been updated correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the data element was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that led to incomplete activation.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues, such as missing tables or incorrect table definitions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Activation Status: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the activation status of the data element and its associated tables. Ensure that all related objects are fully activated.
  Re-activate
