• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT901 - Changes to table & were not passed on to view & ?

  The SAP error message DT901 indicates that changes made to a database table were not successfully propagated to a view that is based on that table. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Cause:
  
  Table Structure Changes: If the structure of the underlying table (like adding or removing fields) has been modified, the view may not automatically reflect these changes.
  View Definition: The view may not have been updated to include the new fields or changes made to the table.
  Transport Issues: If the changes were made in a development environment and not properly transported to the target environment, the view may not recognize the changes.
  Database Locking: Sometimes, database locks can prevent changes from being applied to views.
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: If there are inconsistencies in the data dictionary, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Rebuild the View: 
  
  Go to the transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).
