• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2464 - DDIC structure & for info structure & not active in Data Dictionary ?

  The SAP error message M2464 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Dictionary (DDIC) structure related to an Info Structure that is not active. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's logistics and reporting modules, particularly when dealing with Info Structures used for reporting purposes.
  Cause:
  The error message M2464 can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Inactive Info Structure: The Info Structure you are trying to use is not activated in the Data Dictionary. This can happen if the Info Structure was created but not yet activated.
  Changes in the Data Dictionary: If there have been changes made to the underlying Data Dictionary structures or tables that the Info Structure relies on, it may lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the Info Structure was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary components, it may not be active.
  Missing Authorizations: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or activate the Info Structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the M2464 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Activate the Info Structure:
  
  Go to the transaction code SIS (for Sales Information System) or MC22 (for Info Structure maintenance).
  Check if the Info Structure is listed as inactive. If it is, activate it by selecting the Info Structure and choosing the activation option.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all underlying Data Dictionary objects (like tables and structures) that the Info Structure depends on are also active. You can check this in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator).
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the Info Structure was recently transported, verify that all necessary components were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport or manually activate the Info Structure in the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and activate Info Structures. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Info Structure:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may consider rebuilding the Info Structure. This can be done by deleting the existing structure and creating a new one, but this should be done with caution and typically in a development environment first.
