  The SAP error message TR_AUSL618 indicates that there is an issue with the secondary index for the table VBFA (Document Flow). This error typically arises during the transport of changes in the SAP system, particularly when the system detects that a secondary index is being delivered, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the secondary index for the table VBFA is not meant to be transported.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Request: Open the transport request that is causing the error and check if the secondary index for the table VBFA is included in the request.
  
  
  Remove Secondary Index: If the secondary index is included, you need to remove it from the transport request. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the transport request in the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10).
  Finding the entry related to the secondary index for VBFA.
  Deleting or excluding it from the transport request.
  
  
  
  Re-transport: After removing the secondary index, you can re-transport the request. Ensure that only the necessary objects are included in the transport.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you are unsure about the configuration or if the error persists, consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP Notes related to transport issues and the specific table VBFA.
