  The SAP error message E2240 typically relates to issues with structures in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with data dictionary objects or ABAP programs. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to activate a structure, when there are inconsistencies in the data dictionary, or when there are issues with the definitions of the structures themselves.
  Cause:
