• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD947 - Active table & is not language-dependent (translation type is defined) ?

  The SAP error message AD947 indicates that there is an issue related to the language dependency of a table in the SAP system. Specifically, it suggests that the active table is not language-dependent, but a translation type has been defined for it. This can occur when there is a mismatch between the table's configuration and the expected behavior regarding language handling.
  Cause:
  
  Table Configuration: The table in question has been defined with a translation type, which implies that it should support multiple languages. However, the table itself is not set up to be language-dependent.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be existing data in the table that does not conform to the expected language settings.
  Development or Customization Issues: If the table was created or modified in a custom development scenario, it may not have been properly configured to handle language dependencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Review the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to ensure that it is correctly set up for language dependency. If the table is intended to be language-dependent, you may need to adjust its settings.
  Adjust Translation Type: If the table should not be language-dependent, you may need to remove the translation type definition. This can be done by modifying the table's attributes in the Data Dictionary.
  Data Cleanup: If there is existing data that is causing the issue, you may need to clean up or adjust the data to ensure it aligns with the table's configuration.
  Transport Requests: If changes are made, ensure that they are included in the appropriate transport requests for consistency across different environments (development, testing, production).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific table and its intended use to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to view and modify the table definition, and SE14 to activate the table if necessary.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on handling language dependencies in tables.
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the table behaves as expected in different language contexts.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP Basis or ABAP consultant who can provide deeper insights into the specific configuration and potential issues within your SAP environment.
