This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or during data migration activities, particularly when using tools like the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or SAP Data Services.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that a table, which is supposed to be inactive, is still present in the database. This can happen due to several reasons:

  Remove Inactive Table:
  
  If the inactive table is not needed for the migration, remove it from the transfer configuration. If it is needed, consider activating it or ensuring it is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation related to the specific migration or transformation process you are using. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
