  The SAP error message TK554 indicates that a view has a delivery class of "W," which means it is a system table. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a view that is not allowed to be changed in the system due to its delivery class settings.
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Class "W": The delivery class "W" indicates that the table or view is a system table that is not intended to be modified. This is a protective measure to ensure the integrity of system data.
