• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR118 - Class W tables are allowed only with delivery class S ?

  The SAP error message TR118 indicates that you are trying to create or modify a table with a delivery class that is not compatible with the specified class of the table. Specifically, the message states that "Class W tables are allowed only with delivery class S." 
  Cause:
  In SAP, tables are assigned a delivery class that determines how the data in the table is treated in terms of transport and data management. The delivery classes are defined as follows:
  
  Class A: Application tables that are transportable.
  Class B: Application tables that are not transportable.
  Class C: Customizing tables that are transportable.
  Class D: Customizing tables that are not transportable.
  Class E: Tables that are not transportable and are used for system data.
  Class F: Tables that are not transportable and are used for system data.
  Class S: System tables that are not transportable.
  
  Class W tables are typically used for work area tables, which are not meant to be transported between systems. The error occurs when you attempt to assign a delivery class to a Class W table that is not allowed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the delivery class of the table you are trying to create or modify is compatible with the Class W designation. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Table Definition: Review the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to see what delivery class is currently assigned.
  
  
  Change the Delivery Class: If the table is incorrectly assigned a delivery class that is not compatible with Class W, change it to a delivery class that is appropriate for your use case. For example, if the table is meant to be a work area table, ensure it is set to Class W and that it does not have a delivery class that is not allowed.
  
  
  Recreate the Table: If you are unable to change the delivery class due to restrictions, you may need to drop the table and recreate it with the correct settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for guidance on the appropriate delivery class for your specific use case.
