  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER006 Simple filter &2 on filter object &1: Table Name in Configuration missing
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when a simple filter is defined on a filter object, but the configuration for the filter object is incomplete or missing the table name. Essentially, the system expects a table name to be specified in the filter configuration, but it is not found.
  
  &1 = Filter object name  
  &2 = Simple filter name
  
  The filter object configuration is incomplete because the table name, which is necessary to apply the filter, is not maintained or missing in the customizing/configuration.
  
  Where does this happen?
  
  Typically occurs in scenarios involving SAP Enterprise Search, SAP Web Channel, or any application using filter objects for search or selection criteria.
  The error is raised during runtime when the system tries to apply a filter but cannot find the required table name in the filter object configuration.
  
  
  Cause Summary:
  
  Missing or incomplete configuration of the filter object in the customizing.
  The filter object does not have the associated table name maintained.
  Possibly a transport or configuration error where the filter object was not fully set up.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Filter Object Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction or IMG path where filter objects are maintained.
  For example, in SAP Enterprise Search, this might be under:
  SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver -> Enterprise Search -> Search Configuration -> Filter Objects
  
  Locate the filter object &1 mentioned in the error.
  
  
  
  Maintain Table Name:
  
  Ensure that the filter object has the correct Table Name maintained.
  The table name is essential because it defines the data source for the filter.
  
  
  
  Maintain Simple Filter:
  
  Check the simple filter &2 under the filter object.
  Verify that all required fields and parameters are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Transport and Consistency:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, verify that the transport was successful and complete.
  Re-import or reconfigure if necessary.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After maintaining the table name and filter configuration, test the scenario again to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is a configuration issue, not a program error.
  It is important to have a clear understanding of the filter objects and their role in the specific SAP module you are working with.
  Documentation or SAP Notes related to the specific module (e.g., Enterprise Search) may provide additional guidance.
  If unsure about the correct table name, consult the functional consultant or SAP documentation for the relevant filter object.
