• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD587 - Current table & has type & (no technical settings can be specified) ?

  The SAP error message AD587 indicates that there is an issue with the technical settings of a database table in the ABAP Dictionary. Specifically, it means that the current table has a certain type (like a pooled or cluster table) for which you cannot specify technical settings. This error typically arises when you attempt to change the technical settings of a table that is not allowed to have them due to its type.
  Cause:
  
  Table Type: The table in question is likely a pooled table or a cluster table. These types of tables are designed to store data in a specific way that does not allow for the usual technical settings (like buffering, logging, etc.) to be specified.
  Modification Attempt: You may be trying to modify the technical settings of a table that is already defined as a pooled or cluster table, which is not permitted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Type: Verify the type of the table you are trying to modify. You can do this by going to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the table's properties.
  Avoid Modifications: If the table is indeed a pooled or cluster table, you will not be able to change its technical settings. You should avoid trying to modify these settings.
  Create a Transparent Table: If you need specific technical settings, consider creating a new transparent table instead of modifying the existing pooled or cluster table. Transparent tables allow for more flexibility in terms of technical settings.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for best practices regarding table types and their configurations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Pooled Tables: These are used to store data from multiple logical tables in a single physical table. They are typically used for smaller tables that do not require their own physical storage.
  Cluster Tables: These are similar to pooled tables but are used to store data that is logically related and often accessed together.
  Transparent Tables: These are the most common type of tables in SAP and allow for full technical settings to be specified.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the situation is more complex, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your technical team for further assistance.
