  The SAP error message LTR2_BASIS205 indicates that there is an attempt to select data from child tables of non-transparent tables, which is not supported in the context of the operation being performed. This typically occurs in scenarios involving data extraction or reporting where the system is trying to access data from a non-transparent table's child tables.
  
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transparent Tables: Non-transparent tables in SAP are database tables that do not have a one-to-one mapping with a database table. They are often used for complex data structures, such as pooled or cluster tables.
