What causes this issue?

System Response

Customer table where SAP can add data but not modify or delete it. A
customer table in the delivery class G must be assigned a customer
namespace in the database table TRESC using the program RDDKOR54.
Customer tables can be delivered with patterns for real data.
In client copies, the data of client-specific tables is copied. Any
cross-client data is not copied
The data in client-specific tables is imported as follows in
installation, updates, and language imports: In system clients with the
client ID "000" , all data is imported and existing data is overwritten.
In other clients, only new data is imported and no existing data is
overwritten. Any cross-client data is inserted without overwriting
existing data.
In transports between customer systems, all data is transported. In
client-specific tables, only the data in the specified target client is
respected.
Any data entered using extended table maintenance (transaction code SM30
) is checked here for any violations of the namespace assigned in the
database table TRESC.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SBD_MESSAGES314 - Customizing table, protected against SAP Update ?

  The SAP error message SBD_MESSAGES314 indicates that a customizing table is protected against updates by SAP. This typically means that the table is locked for changes to prevent any unintended modifications that could affect the integrity of the system or the application.
  Cause:
  
  Table Protection: The table in question is marked as protected against updates, which is a common practice for certain customizing tables to ensure that they are not inadvertently changed during system updates or upgrades.
  Transport Layer: The customizing settings may be in a transport layer that is not allowed to be modified directly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the customizing table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Protection: Verify if the table is indeed protected. You can do this by checking the table's attributes in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or by consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  Use Transaction SPRO: If you need to make changes, use the transaction SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) to navigate to the relevant customizing settings. This is the recommended way to make changes to customizing tables.
  Transport Request: If you need to make changes in a development environment, ensure that you are working within a transport request. If the table is part of a transport layer, you may need to create a new transport request to make changes.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific customizing table to understand its purpose and any restrictions on changes.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate permissions.
