• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GG851 - The settings are also changed for the dependent tables ?

  The SAP error message GG851 indicates that there are changes in the settings of a table that also affect its dependent tables. This typically occurs in the context of database table modifications, such as when you change the structure of a table (e.g., adding or removing fields) or when you modify the relationships between tables (e.g., foreign key constraints).
  Cause:
  
  Table Structure Changes: If you modify the structure of a table, such as adding or deleting fields, it may require corresponding changes in dependent tables that reference it.
  Foreign Key Relationships: Changes in foreign key relationships can lead to inconsistencies if dependent tables are not updated accordingly.
  Data Dictionary Changes: Changes made in the Data Dictionary (SE11) that affect the integrity of the database schema can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the changes made to the main table and identify all dependent tables. You can use transaction SE11 to view the table structure and dependencies.
  Update Dependent Tables: Ensure that any changes made to the main table are also reflected in the dependent tables. This may involve:
  
  Adding or removing fields in dependent tables.
  Adjusting foreign key relationships.
  Ensuring that data types and lengths are consistent across related tables.
  
  
  Activate Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, activate the changes in the Data Dictionary.
  Check for Consistency: Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies in the database and to adjust the database structure if necessary.
  Transport Requests: If the changes are part of a transport request, ensure that all related objects are included in the transport.
