• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO311 - Structure of the table was removed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO311 indicates that the structure of a table has been removed or altered in a way that is not compatible with the current configuration or usage of that table. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or when working with data structures in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Table Structure Changes: The most common cause is that the underlying database table structure has been modified (e.g., fields added, removed, or changed) after the data structure was initially defined in the system.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the transport did not include all necessary changes, this error can occur.
  Inconsistent Data Model: If there are inconsistencies between the data model in the database and the data model defined in the application layer, this error may be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Structure: Verify the current structure of the table in the database using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary). Ensure that it matches the expected structure in your application.
  Recreate Data Structure: If the structure has changed, you may need to recreate or adjust the data structure in the application to align with the new table definition.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all necessary transports have been applied correctly. If there are missing transports, apply them to synchronize the development and production environments.
  Adjust Data Model: If the data model has changed, you may need to adjust your application code or configuration to accommodate these changes.
  Check for Custom Code: If there is custom code that interacts with the table, review it to ensure it is compatible with the current table structure.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to view and modify the table structure, SE80 for object navigation, and SE37 for function modules that may be related to the error.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide specific guidance or fixes.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the application to trace where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the issue.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific module or functionality you are working with to understand any dependencies or requirements related to the table structure.
  
  If the issue continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further investigation.
