• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIW113 - Table Type &1: key category must be 'not specified' ?

  The SAP error message SIW113, which states "Table Type &1: key category must be 'not specified'," typically occurs in the context of defining or working with table types in ABAP Dictionary (DDIC). This error indicates that the key category for a specified table type is incorrectly defined.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you are trying to define a table type in the ABAP Dictionary, and the key category is set to a value that is not allowed. In SAP, table types can have different key categories, such as:
  
  Not Specified: This means that the table does not have a primary key.
  Unique: This means that the table has a unique key.
  Non-Unique: This means that the table can have duplicate entries.
  
  If the key category is set to something other than "Not Specified" when it should be, or if the table type is not defined correctly, you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the SIW113 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Table Type Definition:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Look for the table type that is causing the error (replace &1 with the actual name of the table type).
  Open the table type definition.
  
  
  
  Review Key Category:
  
  Ensure that the key category is set to "Not Specified" if that is the requirement for your table type.
  If you need a unique or non-unique key, ensure that the table type is defined correctly according to your requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Key Fields:
  
  If you are defining key fields, make sure that they are correctly specified and that the key category aligns with the intended use of the table type.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save and activate the table type.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After activation, test the functionality that was causing the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
