• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2165 - Check table of the domain is current table (FK maintenance not possible) ?

  The SAP error message E2165, "Check table of the domain is current table (FK maintenance not possible)," typically occurs in the context of Foreign Key (FK) maintenance in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) when there is an inconsistency between the table definition and the domain associated with a field.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Table Definition: The error usually arises when the table you are trying to maintain has a foreign key relationship with another table, but the check table (the table that the foreign key points to) is not current or has not been updated properly.
  Domain Issues: The domain associated with the field in the table may not match the expected data type or characteristics of the check table.
  Transport Issues: If the table or domain was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated correctly in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Activation: Ensure that the check table is activated. You can do this by navigating to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the status of the check table.
  Re-activate the Table: If the check table is not current, you can try reactivating it. Go to transaction SE11, enter the table name, and choose "Activate" to ensure it is up to date.
  Check Domain: Verify that the domain associated with the field in the table is correct and matches the data type of the check table. You can check this in transaction SE11 by looking at the domain definition.
  Foreign Key Definition: Review the foreign key definition in the table to ensure it points to the correct check table and that the fields involved are compatible.
  Transport Request: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all objects were transported correctly.
  Consistency Check: Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to perform a consistency check on the database objects. This can help identify any inconsistencies that need to be resolved.
