  The SAP error message FMCA_TTF_DESIGNTIME036 typically occurs when there is an issue with the arrangement of fields in a table, specifically when the system detects that the sequence of fields is being altered in a way that is not permitted. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with table definitions in the ABAP Dictionary or when modifying the structure of a table.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Field Sequence Violation: The fields in the table are being rearranged in a way that violates the defined sequence. In SAP, the order of fields in a table is significant, and changing this order can lead to inconsistencies.
  Table Locking: The table might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes to its structure.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Sequence: Ensure that you are not trying to rearrange the fields in a way that is not allowed. If you need to change the order of fields, you may need to create a new table or use a different approach to achieve your goal.
  
  
  Review Table Definition: Go to the Data Dictionary (SE11) and check the definition of the table. Make sure that the field sequence is as intended and that no changes are being made that would violate the rules.
  
  
  Unlock the Table: If the table is locked, check for any active sessions or processes that might be using the table. You can use transaction SM12 to view and delete any locks if necessary.
  
  
  Transport Request: If the issue is related to a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that all necessary objects are included. You may need to re-import the transport or check for inconsistencies.
