  Table Inclusion: The table you are trying to modify or delete is defined as an INCLUDE table in another table. INCLUDE tables are used to modularize the structure of database tables in SAP.

  Modify the Including Table: If you need to make changes to the INCLUDE table, you may need to first modify or remove the inclusion from the including table. This may involve:
  
  Adjusting the structure of the including table.
  Removing the INCLUDE statement if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation or comments in the code to understand the purpose of the INCLUDE table and its impact on the including table.
  Transport Requests: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that your changes are properly captured in a transport request before moving to production.
  Seek Approval: If the table is part of a critical application, consult with your team or stakeholders before making changes to ensure that it does not affect existing functionality.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 for Data Dictionary, SE14 for database utility, and SE80 for Object Navigator to explore the relationships between tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific tables you are working with.
  Documentation: Review the technical documentation for the specific module or application area to understand the role of the INCLUDE table.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the application to ensure that everything functions as expected and that no data integrity issues arise.
