• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2336 - Enter the delivery class & for the Basis view ?

  The SAP error message E2336, which states "Enter the delivery class & for the Basis view," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a database table or view in the Data Dictionary (SE11) and have not specified a delivery class for the view. The delivery class is an important attribute that determines how the data in the table or view is handled in terms of transport and data management.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the delivery class is a mandatory field when defining a database object in SAP. The delivery class specifies how the data is to be treated in terms of transport between different SAP systems (e.g., development, quality assurance, production). If this field is left blank, SAP will throw this error.
