FAGL_SKF014 - Details

• The SAP error message FAGL_SKF014, which states "Deletion of fields in append structure not permitted," typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete fields from an append structure that is associated with a database table in the SAP system. This error is related to the way SAP handles data structures and their extensions.

  Data Integrity: The restriction is in place to maintain data integrity and consistency. Deleting fields from an append structure could lead to inconsistencies in the data model and affect existing applications or reports that rely on those fields.
