  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Table Usage: The error usually arises when a totals table is being incorrectly referenced as a sender table in a consolidation process. In SAP, sender tables are typically detail tables that contain transactional data, while totals tables summarize this data.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the consolidation settings or in the data flow definitions that incorrectly designates a totals table as a sender.

  Solution:
