• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AUT044 - The table is contained in the change document object &1 ?

  The SAP error message AUT044 indicates that a specific table is part of a change document object, which means that the table is being used to track changes made to certain data records. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to perform an operation (like deletion or modification) on a table that is linked to change documents, which is not allowed due to the integrity constraints of the change document mechanism.
  Cause:
  
  Change Document Object: The table you are trying to modify is associated with a change document object. Change documents are used in SAP to keep track of changes made to certain data records for auditing and tracking purposes.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that changes to data that are tracked by change documents are handled correctly. This means that direct modifications to the underlying tables are restricted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Change Document Functions: Instead of trying to modify the table directly, use the appropriate SAP function modules or methods that are designed to handle changes to the data while respecting the change document mechanism. For example, use the function modules like CHANGE_DOCUMENT or similar, depending on the context.
  Review Custom Code: If this error arises from custom ABAP code, review the code to ensure that it is not attempting to directly modify the change document tables. Instead, it should use the standard SAP methods for making changes.
  Check Configuration: If you are a system administrator or have access to configuration settings, check the configuration of the change document object to ensure it is set up correctly and that the necessary authorizations are in place.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific change document object and its associated tables.
  
  Related Information:
