• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT273 - Table copied to all clients of the system ?

  The SAP error message GT273 indicates that a table has been copied to all clients of the system. This typically occurs when a table is defined as a client-independent table, and the system is trying to perform an operation that affects all clients.
  Cause:
  
  Client-Dependent vs. Client-Independent Tables: In SAP, tables can be client-dependent (data is specific to a client) or client-independent (data is shared across all clients). If a client-independent table is being modified or accessed in a way that is not allowed, this error may occur.
  Transport Requests: If a transport request is being imported that includes changes to a client-independent table, it may trigger this message.
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the table is locked for some reason, this error may arise.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Verify the definition of the table in the Data Dictionary (SE11). Ensure that it is correctly set up as client-independent if that is the intended design.
  Review Transport Requests: If the error occurred during a transport, check the transport request for any changes made to client-independent tables. Ensure that the transport is valid and does not contain unintended changes.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to ensure that there are no issues with the data in the table. You can use transaction codes like SE14 (Database Utility) to check and repair inconsistencies.
  Client-Specific Settings: If the operation is intended to be client-specific, ensure that you are working with the correct client settings and that the operation is appropriate for the table type.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
