• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT663 - Technical settings are defined but not from table & ?

  The SAP error message DT663 indicates that there is an issue with the technical settings of a database table in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). Specifically, it means that the technical settings for a particular table have been defined, but they are not consistent with the expected settings for that table.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Technical Settings: The technical settings for the table may have been changed or not properly defined. This can happen during table creation, modification, or transport of changes between systems.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from one system to another, the technical settings may not have been included or may have been overridden.
  Database Issues: There may be discrepancies between the database and the SAP Data Dictionary, especially if there have been manual changes to the database outside of SAP.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Technical Settings: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the technical settings of the table in question. Ensure that they are correctly defined according to your requirements.
  Adjust Settings: If the settings are incorrect, you can adjust them in the Data Dictionary. Make sure to activate the changes after making adjustments.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the table with the correct settings.
  Database Consistency Check: Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check the consistency of the database table. This can help identify any discrepancies between the database and the Data Dictionary.
  Recreate Table: In some cases, if the table is not heavily used or if it is feasible, you may consider dropping and recreating the table with the correct settings.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific table and its technical settings for any additional guidance.
