• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 01667 - Please only maintain company addresses in the central CUA system ?

  The SAP error message 01667, which states "Please only maintain company addresses in the central CUA system," typically occurs in the context of the Central User Administration (CUA) in SAP systems. This error indicates that you are trying to maintain or change company addresses in a child system rather than in the central CUA system.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Addresses in Central CUA System:
  
  Log in to the central CUA system.
  Navigate to the transaction code for maintaining company addresses (usually SU01 for user maintenance or SU10 for mass changes).
  Make the necessary changes to the company addresses in the central system.

  Review CUA Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the CUA is correctly configured and that all child systems are properly connected to the central system.
