  • What causes this issue?

    In a structure, you are using a field name which is reserved for the
    database.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    This will not result in an error as long as you do not use the
    structure in a table as an Include.
    You may not use the table in a new database table as an Include and may
    not add it to an active database table which already exists.
    The table activating program rejects it because use of this database
    table can result in errors, depending on the database system.
    A warning is given for tables which are already active which have such
    an Include.

NP230 - Details

  • The SAP error message NP230, which states "Field name & is reserved (Do not use structure as include in DB table)," typically occurs when you attempt to use a structure as an include in a database table definition. This is not allowed in SAP because certain fields in structures are reserved for internal use or have specific constraints that prevent them from being used directly in database tables.
    
    Cause: Using Structures in DB Tables: The primary cause of this error is the attempt to include a structure that contains reserved fields or is not suitable for direct inclusion in a database table. Field Naming Conflicts: The field name you are trying to use may conflict with reserved keywords or system-defined fields in SAP. Data Dictionary Restrictions: SAP has specific rules regarding the use of structures and includes in database tables, and violating these rules will trigger this error.
    Solution: Avoid Using Structures Directly: Instead of including
