  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING073 indicates that there is an issue related to the number of shared tables that are being used with a new version of a data dictionary object. This typically occurs during the transport of changes or when trying to activate a new version of a table or data element that is shared across multiple objects.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Version Conflict: The system is trying to activate a new version of a table that is already being used by other objects, and the number of shared references exceeds the allowed limit.
  Transport Issues: If the transport request includes changes to a table that is heavily referenced, it may lead to this error if the system cannot handle the number of dependencies.
  Data Dictionary Changes: Changes made to the data dictionary (like adding fields, changing data types, etc.) can lead to this error if the changes affect many dependent objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DD_MT_SHARING073 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the dependencies of the table in question. Identify how many objects are referencing the table and whether they are all necessary.
  
  
  Reduce Shared References: If possible, try to reduce the number of shared references. This might involve:
  
  Modifying the design to minimize dependencies.
  Temporarily deactivating or adjusting some of the dependent objects to allow the new version to be activated.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: If the error occurs during a transport, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that all necessary objects are included. You may need to split the transport into smaller parts.
  
  
  System Configuration: Check the system configuration settings related to the data dictionary and shared objects. There may be parameters that can be adjusted to allow for more shared references.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
