• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TL301 - Table & contains fewer than two translatable non-key fields ?

  The SAP error message TL301 indicates that a specific table contains fewer than two translatable non-key fields. This error typically arises during the process of creating or modifying a table in the Data Dictionary (SE11) when the system expects a certain structure for translation purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Non-Key Fields: The table in question has either one or no non-key fields that are marked for translation. SAP requires at least two non-key fields to facilitate proper translation of the table's content.
  Field Configuration: The fields in the table may not be configured correctly, meaning that they are either not marked as translatable or are not set up as non-key fields.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TL301 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Structure:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 and enter the name of the table that is causing the error.
  Review the fields defined in the table. Ensure that there are at least two non-key fields that are marked for translation.
  
  
  
  Add Non-Key Fields:
  
  If there are not enough non-key fields, consider adding additional fields that are relevant to the table's purpose and mark them as translatable.
  To mark a field as translatable, you can set the "Translation" property in the field's attributes.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Fields:
  
  If there are existing fields that are not marked as translatable, you can modify their properties to enable translation.
  
  
  
  Check Key Fields:
  
  Ensure that the key fields are correctly defined and that they do not interfere with the non-key fields' translatability.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that your changes are included in a transport request for proper migration to other environments.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on table design and translation requirements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Translation in SAP: SAP uses translation tables to manage multilingual data. Each translatable field in a table typically corresponds to an entry in a translation table.
  Data Dictionary (SE11): This is the primary tool for managing database objects in SAP, including tables, views, data elements, and domains.
  Field Attributes: Understanding the attributes of fields (like data type, length, and whether they are key or non-key) is crucial for proper table design.
  
  By ensuring that your table meets the requirements for translatable fields, you should be able to resolve the TL301 error and proceed with your development tasks.
