• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ODM_ORC051 - Table type &2 does not exist or is inactive ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ODM_ORC051 Table type &2 does not exist or is inactive typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when the system is trying to access a table type that is either not defined in the system or has been marked as inactive. This can happen during various operations, such as data processing or configuration tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Table Type: The specified table type (&2) does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or because the table type was never created.
  Inactive Table Type: The table type exists but has been marked as inactive. This can happen if it was deactivated for some reason, such as during a system upgrade or maintenance.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings that reference the table type, leading to the system being unable to find or use it.
  Transport Issues: If the table type was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused it to be incomplete or inactive.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Type Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and check if the table type exists. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or correct the reference.

  Activate the Table Type:
