  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Message:
  WS_TOOL861
  
  Text: The structure &2, copied from &1, was adjusted. Check it now.
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during the modification or adjustment of ABAP Dictionary structures (such as structures, tables, or data elements) when a structure is copied or adjusted automatically by the system. The system informs you that the structure you copied from (&1) has been adjusted in the new structure (&2) to maintain consistency or to comply with certain rules.
  Typically, this happens when:
  
  You copy a structure or table definition in the ABAP Dictionary.
  The system detects that some fields or attributes need to be adjusted (e.g., data element changes, field length adjustments, or technical settings).
  The system automatically adjusts the copied structure to avoid inconsistencies or errors.
  
  
  What it means:
  
  The system has made automatic changes to the copied structure.
  These changes might affect the structure's fields, data elements, or technical settings.
  You are advised to check the adjusted structure carefully to ensure it meets your requirements and that the automatic adjustments did not introduce unintended changes.
  
  
  Solution / Recommended Action:
  
  
  Review the adjusted structure (&2):
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and open the structure &2.
  
  
  Compare with the original structure (&1):
  
  Check the differences between the original structure and the adjusted one. Pay attention to:
  
  Field names and data elements
  Field lengths and types
  Technical settings (e.g., key fields, table types)
  
  
  
  Adjust manually if necessary:
  
  If the automatic adjustments are not suitable, manually correct the structure fields or attributes.
  
  
  Activate the structure:
  
  After verifying and making any necessary changes, activate the structure to ensure it is consistent and usable.
  
  
  Test dependent programs or objects:
  
  If the structure is used in programs, interfaces, or database tables, test those objects to ensure no runtime errors occur due to the changes.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is informational and does not indicate an error or system failure.
  It is a safeguard to alert developers or administrators that the system has intervened in the structure definition.
  Always keep a backup or version history of your dictionary objects before making changes.
  If you frequently encounter this message, review your development process for copying and adjusting dictionary objects to minimize automatic adjustments.
  
  
  Summary:

  Impact
