  Schedule Regular Updates:
  
  Ensure that you have a regular maintenance job scheduled to update statistics. This can often be done through the database management tools or through SAP's transaction codes.
  
  
  
  Check Database Configuration:
  
  Verify the database settings to ensure that automatic statistics updates are enabled if supported by your database system.
