MC781 - Details

• The SAP error message MC781 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the fields defined in a view and the corresponding fields in the database view. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Material Management (MM) or other modules where views are used to display data from the database.
  
  Cause:
  
  Field Mismatch: The fields defined in the view (e.g., a custom or standard view) do not match the fields in the underlying database table. This can happen if fields were added, removed, or renamed in the database but not updated in the view definition.
  Data Dictionary Changes: Changes in the data dictionary (like adding or modifying fields) that are not reflected in the view can lead to this inconsistency.

  Custom Development: If there are custom developments
