• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV789 - Display and Maintenance of view/table & not allowed ?

  The SAP error message SV789, which states "Display and Maintenance of view/table & not allowed," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a database view or table for which they do not have the necessary authorizations or when the view/table is not intended for direct maintenance.
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to display or maintain the specified view or table.
  Technical Restrictions: The view or table may be designed as a read-only object, meaning it cannot be modified directly.
  System Configuration: Certain views or tables may be restricted by system settings or configurations, preventing access.
  Object Type: The object being accessed may not be a standard table or view that allows for display or maintenance.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the view or table. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU53 or PFCG.
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator should be consulted to grant the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Object Properties:
  
  Check if the view or table is intended for display only. If it is a view that aggregates data from multiple tables, it may not allow direct maintenance.
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the properties of the view or table.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific view or table to understand its intended use and any restrictions.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Transactions:
  
  If direct maintenance is not allowed, consider using alternative transactions or reports that provide the necessary data without requiring direct access to the view or table.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
