  The SAP error message /CFG/FTI_TECH_ERROR072 indicates a configuration error related to value help in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that the value table specified in the configuration does not exist. This error typically arises in the context of using the Flexible Transport Infrastructure (FTI) or when working with value help in custom development or configuration scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Value Table: The primary cause of this error is that the value table referenced in the configuration does not exist in the database. This could be due to a typo in the table name or the table not being created in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the value help may be incorrect, leading to the system looking for a table that is not defined.

  Solution:
  
  Check Table Existence: Verify that the value table specified in the error message actually exists in the database. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for the table.
  Correct Configuration: If the table does not exist, you may need to create it or correct the configuration to point to an existing table. Ensure that the table name is spelled correctly in the configuration.
  Transport Check: If the configuration was transported, ensure that all necessary objects, including the value table, were included in the transport request. If not, you may need to create the table in the target system manually or adjust the transport request.
  Review Documentation: Check any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific configuration you are working with to ensure that all prerequisites are met.
