  The error message is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense but rather an informational message indicating that a default value has been set for a column in a database table. This can occur during:
  
  Transport Requests: When transporting changes to database tables, the system may apply default settings for columns that do not have explicit values defined.

  Review Table Definition: Check the definition of the table in question to understand which column has had a default value applied. You can do this using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility).
  
  
  Check Transport Request: If this message appears during a transport, review the transport request to ensure that all necessary changes are included and that the default values are as expected.
  
  
  Adjust Default Values: If the default value applied is not appropriate, you may need to adjust the table definition to set the desired default value explicitly. This can be done in SE11 by editing the table and specifying the correct default value for the relevant column.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, ensure to test the table functionality to confirm that the default values are applied correctly and that they meet the business requirements.
