  The SAP error message GU605 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a ledger to a table in the system. Specifically, the error states that the ledger is assigned to a table that has a table type other than the expected type (TT). This can occur in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) modules when there is a mismatch in the configuration of ledgers and their associated tables.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Error: The ledger may have been incorrectly configured to point to a table that is not of the expected type. This can happen during system configuration or when changes are made to the ledger settings.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the system, they may inadvertently lead to this error by altering the expected table types.

  Review Table Assignments:
  
  Use transaction SE11 to check the table definitions and their types.
  Confirm that the table assigned to the ledger is indeed of type TT.
  
  
  
  Adjust Custom Code:
  
  If there are custom developments, review the code to ensure that it does not interfere with the standard ledger assignments.
  Make necessary adjustments to align with standard SAP practices.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings.
  Ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport and that they were transported correctly.
