• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_BASIS_CHECK543 - Source table &1 in data model &2 is no header table ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_BASIS_CHECK543 indicates that there is an issue with the data model you are working with, specifically that the source table specified in the data model is not recognized as a header table. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with data models in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Table Definition: The source table specified in the data model is not defined as a header table in the system. Header tables typically contain key information that relates to line items or detail records.
  Data Model Configuration: The data model may be incorrectly configured, leading to the system not recognizing the specified table as a header table.
  Missing or Incorrect Metadata: The metadata for the table may be missing or incorrectly defined, causing the system to fail in identifying the table type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Verify that the source table is indeed a header table. You can do this by checking the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to ensure it has the correct structure and attributes.
  Review Data Model Configuration: Go through the configuration of the data model to ensure that the source table is correctly assigned and that it is intended to be a header table.
  Update Metadata: If the metadata is incorrect or missing, you may need to update it. This can involve adjusting the table definition or re-importing the metadata.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define header tables and configure data models.
  Check for Notes or Patches: Sometimes, specific issues are addressed in SAP Notes or patches. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes that might address this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Header vs. Item Tables: In SAP, header tables typically contain summary information about a transaction, while item tables contain detailed line items. Understanding the distinction is crucial for proper data modeling.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for managing data models and tables.
  SAP Community: Engaging with the SAP Community can provide insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
