• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCDS_ATC_CHECKS002 - Key element &2 for &1 not found ?

  The SAP error message SCDS_ATC_CHECKS002 typically indicates that a key element (like a table, field, or other object) referenced in your code or configuration is not found in the system. This error is often encountered during the execution of ABAP code checks or when using the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Object: The key element (e.g., a table or field) that the code is trying to access does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The object has not been created yet.
  The object has been deleted or renamed.
  The object is part of a different package or transport that has not been imported.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Naming: There might be a typo or incorrect naming in the code where the key element is referenced.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the code was transported from another system, the required objects may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the key element (e.g., table or field) exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the table or field.
  Using transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the relevant package.
  
  
  
  Check Naming: Review the code for any typos or incorrect references to the key element. Ensure that the names match exactly with what is defined in the Data Dictionary.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the code was transported, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  
  
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that you are using the correct version of the code and that all dependencies are met.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the key element is part of a standard SAP module or enhancement, consult the relevant SAP documentation or notes to ensure that you have the correct setup.
