• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO223 - Value table & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message DO223 indicates that a value table for a specified domain does not exist. This typically occurs when you are trying to use a domain that is expected to have a value table associated with it, but the system cannot find one.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Value Table: The most common cause is that the value table for the domain has not been created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Domain Assignment: The domain might be incorrectly assigned to a data element or field.
  Transport Issues: If the domain or value table was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Custom Development: If you are working with custom fields or domains, the value table may not have been defined during development.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Domain Definition:
  
  Go to transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the domain name that is causing the error and check its definition.
  Verify if a value table is assigned to the domain.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Value Table:
  
  If the value table does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done in SE11 by creating a new transparent table that will serve as the value table.
  If a value table exists but is not assigned, you can assign it to the domain in the domain definition.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that the value table was included in the transport request.
  If it was not included, you may need to create a new transport request that includes the missing value table.
