• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA280 - Table & only exists locally ?

  The SAP error message TA280 indicates that a specific table (denoted by "&") exists only in the local database and is not available in the global database. This situation typically arises in the context of SAP systems that are set up in a distributed environment, such as when using multiple clients or when working with a system landscape that includes both development and production environments.
  Cause:

  Client-Specific Data: The table might be designed to hold client-specific data, which means it is not intended to be available globally across all clients.

  Check Table Existence: Verify if the table exists in the local client by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser).
