hi,

did you create the table maintenance generator

i think you did not create the table maintenance generator check your table.

or even if created you might not have saved it

Steps to create TMG

Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table

maintenance generator.

In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group,

Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name),

Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one

step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button,

a table maintenance generator will be created.

To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.

We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table

entries by choosing Maintain.

regards

prasanth

Hi Rakesh,

For maintaining Tables i.e. entering a new record or modifying existing one , you need to have a table Maintainence for it.

Normally it is created while creating a Table , when you know that the Table will be required to maintain Manually.

For creating a table maintenance go to the Table , Utilities

->Table Maintenance Generator.

If Table Maintenance is not generated for the table , you cant change the records through SM30 , you can only update /modify table through your program code.

Hope this is clear to you.

Regards,

Ashwini

Hi Rakesh,

Prashant has explianed it quite clearly but just to add few points (the problem I faced when doing it first time):

1.In the option to select screen no, there is a option given at upper right side which will suggest the screen no by itself.

2,After you click on "CREATE", do press enter, its only then the object will be created.If you click on "CREATE" and simply go back to main table view, the changes will not get saved.

Hope the points are helpful, if not then do ask.

all the best,

Regards,

Sana.
