• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD944 - Table type change &->&. Database adjustment necessary ?

  The SAP error message AD944 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the table definition in the ABAP Dictionary and the actual database table structure. This typically occurs when a change has been made to the table structure in the ABAP Dictionary (like adding or modifying fields) but the corresponding changes have not been applied to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Table Structure Changes: Changes made to the table structure in the ABAP Dictionary (like adding, deleting, or modifying fields) without executing the necessary database adjustments.
  Transport Issues: If the changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include the necessary database adjustments.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes made directly in the database that are not reflected in the ABAP Dictionary.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AD944 error, you need to perform a database adjustment. Here are the steps to do this:

  Check for Errors: After performing the adjustment, check for any errors or warnings that may arise during the process. Address any issues as necessary.
