  The SAP error message AD886 indicates that fields have been added to a database table, and as a result, the database table has been adjusted. This typically occurs when there are changes made to the data model, such as adding new fields to a table in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) or when a transport request is imported that includes changes to the database structure.
