Hi I am new to ABAP and I would like some guidance on how to create a table and also add the database items.

I created one transparent table. made data elements and domains for each field, I was given a warning error message stating: [Specify a client - specific application table] then it was saved and activated.

But when I go to Utilities --> TABLE CONTENTS --> there CREATE ENTRIES has been disabled. And on the Delivery and Maintenance tab, I have set Data Browser/Table View Maint. to Allow it.

I'm stuck and I am not able to select create entries. Is there another way to do this?

Ultimately, I am trying to enter the data into the database. And I keep getting the [Specify a client- specific application table] All help Greatly Appreciated…

Here I changed the order of my key fields and then I selected the Delivery & Maintenance tab verified Data Browser- Display/ Maintenance Allowed. Now the create entries drop-down is still inactive.

    Only the top columns of the table can be part of the primary key (checkbox in the second column). The client column (data type `CLNT`) should be the first key field, and you should move the columns Material Type and Material Group above the Material Description (and eventually above Material if it's not defined as a key field). – Sandra Rossi Jul 31 '20 at 16:00
  • @SandraRossi Thank you for helping me with my table. I will make those adjustments. – SMOORE Jul 31 '20 at 21:47

You should change maintenance access level on Delivery and maintenance tab

to Maintenance allowed.

More than likely your current setup is Maintenance allowed with restrictions.

  • thank you for your input. I already have that selected but it's still not allowing me to create entries. – SMOORE Aug 01 '20 at 19:31

I solved the issue. I kept receiving error messages about having a space in the field name section. After making those corrections I was able to select create entries from the drop-down menu.

    Thank you for the feedback. What means "a space in the field name section"? NB: if there's a syntax error, you cannot activate the table, i.e. you can't play with it. – Sandra Rossi Aug 02 '20 at 07:13

You need to go to drop down menu GOTO >> TECHNICAL SETTINGS ()

Once on this screen Select your data class and size category.

Save this and activate your table.

You should no longer get the message "Specify a client - specific application table" and should be able to insert entries.
