  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD812 - Table & is not in ABAP Dictionary ?

    The SAP error message SD812, which states "Table & is not in ABAP Dictionary," typically occurs when the system is trying to access a database table that is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:

    Causes:

    1. Table Does Not Exist: The specified table may not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a typo in the table name or because the table has not been created.
    2. Transport Issues: If the table was recently created in a development environment and has not been transported to the target environment (e.g., quality or production), it will not be available there.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the table, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
    4. Database Connection Issues: There may be issues with the database connection that prevent the system from accessing the table.
    5. Custom Tables: If the table is a custom table created by a developer, it may not have been properly defined in the ABAP Dictionary.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Table Name: Verify that the table name is spelled correctly and that it exists in the ABAP Dictionary. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the table.
    2. Create the Table: If the table does not exist, you may need to create it using transaction SE11. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to do so.
    3. Transport the Table: If the table exists in the development environment but not in the target environment, ensure that the transport request containing the table definition is released and imported into the target system.
    4. Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. You can check this using transaction SU53 to see if there are any authorization issues.
    5. Database Connection: Check the database connection settings to ensure that the SAP system can connect to the database where the table is supposed to reside.
    6. Consult with Developers: If the table is a custom table, consult with the developers to ensure it has been properly defined and activated in the ABAP Dictionary.
