• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE293 - Table &1 has no valid structure ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE293 indicates that the specified table (denoted as &1 in the error message) does not have a valid structure. This error typically arises in the context of using the SAP Form Data Tool (FDT) or when working with forms and data structures in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Table Structure: The table referenced may not have been defined correctly in the database, or it may not exist at all.
  Transport Issues: If the table structure was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to the structure not being created or activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the table structure.
  Data Dictionary Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) that prevent the system from recognizing the table structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Existence: Verify that the table exists in the database. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table is defined.
  Check Table Structure: If the table exists, ensure that it has a valid structure. You can do this by checking the fields and data types defined for the table in SE11.
  Activate Table: If the table structure is not active, activate it in SE11. Sometimes, changes made to the table structure need to be activated for them to take effect.
  Transport Check: If the table was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors. You may need to re-transport the table or manually create it in the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
