  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A check table associated with a foreign key relationship is not activated in the SAP system.

  Transport Issues:
  
  If the check table was recently transported from another system, ensure that the transport was successful and that all related objects are also transported.
  Check for any transport errors in transaction code SE01 or SE09.
