• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING618 - Fields from &1 deleted from &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING618 indicates that certain fields from a customizing table (denoted as &1) have been deleted from another customizing table (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of customizing conditions or configuration settings in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition tables or similar structures.
  Cause:
  
  Field Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that fields that were previously part of a customizing table have been removed or deleted. This can happen during system upgrades, changes in configuration, or manual deletions by users with the necessary authorizations.
  Inconsistent Customizing: The error may also arise from inconsistencies in the customizing settings, where the system expects certain fields to be present but they have been removed.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the transport did not include all necessary objects or was not executed correctly, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Customizing Settings: Review the customizing settings for both tables involved. Ensure that the fields that are reported as deleted are indeed intended to be removed. If they are needed, consider restoring them.
  Restore Deleted Fields: If the fields were deleted unintentionally, you may need to restore them from a backup or reconfigure the customizing settings to include them again.
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects are included in the transport request and that the transport is executed correctly in the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP notes or documentation related to the specific customizing tables and fields to understand the implications of the deletion and any recommended actions.
  System Check: Run a consistency check on the customizing settings to identify any other potential issues that may need to be addressed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this specific error message.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to investigate the structure of the tables involved.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to customizing settings, as unauthorized changes can lead to further issues.
  Backup and Restore Procedures: Familiarize yourself with the backup and restore procedures for customizing settings in your SAP environment to prevent data loss.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further analysis and resolution.
