VQ218 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VQ218 Table/structure & is not an information structure
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use a table or structure in a context where an information structure is expected, but the specified table or structure is not defined as an information structure in SAP.
  
  Information structures in SAP are special structures used primarily in Logistics Information System (LIS) reporting.
  The system expects an information structure (usually starting with S like S001, S002, etc.) but finds a regular table or structure instead.
  This can happen if:
  You mistakenly enter a database table or a non-information structure name where an information structure name is required.
  The information structure is not activated or does not exist.
  There is a typo or incorrect name in the input.
  
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the name entered:
  
  Verify that the name you entered is indeed an information structure.
  Information structures typically start with S followed by numbers (e.g., S001).
