• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB079 - Table & not client-specific ?

  The SAP error message TB079 indicates that a specific table is not client-specific. This means that the table in question is intended to store data that is not limited to a specific client in a multi-client environment. In SAP, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of tables.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to perform operations (like data entry, updates, or deletions) on a table that is not designed to hold client-specific data.
  The system is expecting client-specific data but the table is defined as global (not client-specific).
  There may be a misunderstanding in the configuration or usage of the table in question.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TB079 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Definition: Verify the definition of the table in the Data Dictionary (SE11). Ensure that it is correctly set up as a client-specific or non-client-specific table based on your requirements.
  
  
  Review Data Entry: If you are trying to enter data into a non-client-specific table, ensure that you are not including client-specific fields or values that are not applicable.
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transactions: Make sure you are using the correct transactions or programs that are designed to work with non-client-specific tables.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific table to understand its intended use and any restrictions.
  
  
  Check Custom Code: If there is custom code (ABAP programs, enhancements, etc.) that interacts with the table, review it to ensure it is not incorrectly assuming client-specific behavior.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client-Specific vs. Non-Client-Specific Tables: Understanding the difference is crucial. Client-specific tables (with a client field) store data that is relevant to a specific client, while non-client-specific tables store data that is shared across all clients.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), and SE37 (Function Module) to analyze and troubleshoot the issue.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance related to the TB079 error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the TB079 error and implement a suitable solution.
