• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY101 - Code type &1: Table &2 is not defined in ABAP Dictionary ?

  The SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY101 indicates that there is an issue with a code list registry in SAP, specifically that a certain code type (denoted by &1) is referencing a table (denoted by &2) that is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when working with code lists, data elements, or custom development.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Table Definition: The specified table (&2) is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as:
  
  The table was never created.
  The table was deleted or not activated.
  There is a typo in the table name or code type.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The code type may be incorrectly configured to point to a non-existent or incorrectly named table.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the code type or table was recently transported from another system, the transport may not have included the necessary objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Definition:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check if the table &2 exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup or transport.
  
  
  
  Verify Code Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the code type in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction SCDO for code lists).
  Ensure that the code type is correctly pointing to the intended table.
  
  
  
  Activate Objects:
  
  If the table exists but is not activated, activate it in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Ensure that all related objects are also activated.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the objects.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific code type or table to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
