• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO628 - Table & are not the same before and after level activation ?

  The SAP error message DO628 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the structure of a database table before and after a level activation. This typically occurs during the activation of a data dictionary object (like a table or view) when the system detects that the table's structure has changed in a way that is not consistent with the expected structure.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Table Structure: The most common cause of this error is that the table structure has been modified (e.g., fields added, removed, or changed) in the ABAP Dictionary but the changes have not been properly activated or synchronized with the database.
  Transport Issues: If the changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance), there may have been issues during the transport that caused the table structure to be inconsistent.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes made directly in the database (bypassing the ABAP Dictionary) can lead to discrepancies.
