• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA059 - Error: Key for table &1 is not client-specific: &2 ?

  The SAP error message TA059 indicates that there is an issue with a key for a table that is not client-specific. This error typically arises when you are trying to access or manipulate data in a table that is expected to be client-specific, but the key you are using is not defined as such.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Client-Specific Table: The table you are trying to access is not designed to be client-specific, meaning it does not have a client field (usually MANDT) that differentiates data between different clients in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Key Usage: You may be using a key that is not appropriate for the table you are working with. For example, if you are trying to access a table that is meant to hold global data (not specific to a client), but you are using a client-specific key, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the way the table is set up or how the data is being accessed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Verify the definition of the table in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11). Check if the table is indeed non-client-specific and understand its structure.
  Use Correct Keys: Ensure that you are using the correct keys for the table. If the table is non-client-specific, do not include client-specific fields in your queries or data manipulations.
  Review Code: If this error occurs in custom ABAP code, review the code to ensure that it is correctly handling the keys for the table in question.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources to understand the intended use of the table and how to properly access it.
  Data Access Logic: If you are working with a program or report, ensure that the logic for accessing the data aligns with the table's design.

  Client-Specific vs. Non-Client-Specific: Understand the difference between client-specific and non-client-specific tables in SAP, as this is crucial for proper data handling.
