• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GG671 - Table & is not global ?

  The SAP error message GG671 indicates that a specific table is not defined as a global table in the system. This error typically arises when you are trying to access or manipulate a table that is not set up to be global, which can lead to issues in data visibility or access across different clients or sessions.
  Cause:
  
  Table Definition: The table in question is defined in the Data Dictionary (SE11) without the global attribute. This means it is only accessible within a specific client or context.
  Client-Specific Data: The table may be intended for client-specific data storage, which is not meant to be shared across different clients.
  Incorrect Usage: The program or transaction you are using may be attempting to access the table in a way that requires it to be global.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 and enter the table name to check its attributes.
  Ensure that the "Global" checkbox is selected if you want the table to be accessible globally.
  
  
  
  Modify Table Attributes:
  
  If the table needs to be global, you can modify its attributes in SE11. However, this should be done with caution, as changing a table's definition can have implications for existing data and applications.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the Data Dictionary.
  
  
  
  Review Program Logic:
  
  If the table is not meant to be global, review the program or transaction logic to ensure it is not incorrectly trying to access the table as if it were global.
  Adjust the logic to work within the constraints of the table's definition.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for best practices regarding table definitions and usage.

  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view or modify table definitions in the SAP system.
