• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/CM_CONVERSION045 - Table does not exist in DB ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/CM_CONVERSION045 Table does not exist in DB typically indicates that the system is trying to access a database table that is not present in the database. This can occur for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Table: The table may not have been created in the database. This can happen if the installation or upgrade process was not completed successfully.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may be configured incorrectly, pointing to a wrong database or schema where the table is not available.
  Transport Issues: If the table was part of a transport request that was not imported correctly, it may not exist in the target system.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database itself, such as corruption or misconfiguration.
  Version Mismatch: The version of the SAP system may not support the table, or the table may have been deprecated in the current version.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Table Existence: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table exists in the database. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
  Recreate the Table: If the table is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can often be done by executing the relevant SAP notes or using the appropriate transaction codes.
  Check Transport Requests: If the table was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the table was included.
  Database Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the database to identify any issues. This can be done using transaction DB02 or DBACOCKPIT.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the system is correctly configured to point to the right database and schema. Check the settings in transaction RZ10 or RZ11.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP Notes often provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific SAP module or component that is generating the error to understand if there are any prerequisites or dependencies related to the table.
