• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO862 - Dependent table type & was not activated ?

  The SAP error message DO862 indicates that a dependent table type has not been activated. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP Dictionary objects, particularly when there are changes made to table types or when they are being used in other objects like structures, tables, or function modules.
  Cause:
  
  Unactivated Table Type: The table type that is being referenced has not been activated. This can happen if the table type was created or modified but not activated.
  Dependency Issues: If there are dependencies on the table type from other objects (like function modules, classes, or other table types), those objects may not function correctly until the dependent table type is activated.
  Transport Issues: If the table type was transported from another system and not activated in the target system, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Table Type:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Enter the name of the table type that is causing the issue.

  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue is related to transport, ensure that the transport request containing the table type has been properly imported and activated in the target system.
