  The SAP error message SCPR_ATC016, which indicates that a view has an undefined customizing delivery class, typically arises during the activation or transport of a view in the SAP system. This error is related to the configuration of the view in the ABAP Dictionary and can occur in various scenarios, such as when creating or modifying database views or when working with custom developments.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined customizing delivery class for the view in question.

  L: Table for local use (not transportable).
  
  
  Choose the delivery class that best fits the purpose of your view.
  
  
  
  Activate the View:
  
  After setting the delivery class, activate the view again.
