  The SAP error message KF557 indicates that a specific table (denoted by "&") is still being used in various objects, which prevents certain operations, such as deletion or modification of the table. This error typically arises when you attempt to delete or modify a table that is still referenced in other database objects, such as views, indexes, or other tables.
  Cause:

  Other database objects like stored procedures or functions that reference the table.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KF557 error, you can follow these steps:
