  The SAP error message MX002, which states "Table & is not active or does not exist," typically indicates that the system is unable to find or access a specific table that is required for a transaction or operation. This can occur for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Table Not Activated: The table may not have been activated in the system. This can happen if the table is newly created or modified and the activation process was not completed.
  Table Does Not Exist: The table may not exist in the database. This could be due to a missing transport or an error during the transport process.

  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database connection or the database itself, leading to the table being inaccessible.
  Development Environment: If you are in a development environment, the table may not have been transported to the system you are working in.
