  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to the table. You can check this using transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Database Integrity: Check for any database integrity issues. You may need to run consistency checks or consult with your database administrator if there are underlying database problems.
  Error Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context on why the operation failed.
  Retry the Operation: After addressing any identified issues, try to perform the operation again.
