  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VO223 - Press the radio button for customer-defined tables ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VO223 - Press the radio button for customer-defined tables


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you are working with customer-defined tables in SAP (often in the context of customizing or table maintenance) and you have not selected the required radio button that indicates you want to work with customer-defined tables. The system expects you to explicitly specify whether you want to use standard SAP tables or customer-defined (Z or Y) tables.

    In other words, the system prompts you to confirm your choice by selecting the appropriate radio button before proceeding.


    When does it occur?

    • When maintaining or generating table maintenance dialogs (transaction SM30 or SE54).
    • When defining or modifying table views or table maintenance generators.
    • When working with table control or customizing tables where both standard and customer-defined tables exist.

    Solution:

    • Select the radio button for customer-defined tables on the screen where the error appears. This explicitly tells the system that you want to work with customer-defined tables.
    • If you are in a customizing or table maintenance screen, look for the option or radio button labeled something like:
      • "Customer-defined tables"
      • "Customer tables"
      • Or a similar option that distinguishes between standard SAP tables and customer tables.
    • After selecting the radio button, proceed with your action again.

    Additional Information:

    • SAP distinguishes between standard tables delivered by SAP and customer-defined tables (usually starting with Z or Y).
    • This distinction is important because customer tables may have different maintenance rules or require different handling.
    • The error message VO223 is a prompt to avoid accidental changes to standard SAP tables when the user intends to work on customer tables.
    • If you are unsure which option to select, check with your SAP Basis or functional consultant to confirm the correct table type.
    • This message is part of SAP's safeguard mechanism to prevent unintended modifications.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details

    Message Press the radio button for customer-defined tables
