  The SAP error message BC_BOR866 typically indicates an issue related to Business Object Repository (BOR) or Business Object (BO) operations, particularly when trying to insert data into a table like SCUSTOM. This error can arise due to various reasons, including data inconsistencies, authorization issues, or problems with the underlying business logic.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The data being inserted may not meet the constraints defined in the SCUSTOM table, such as primary key violations or data type mismatches.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to insert data into the SCUSTOM table.
  Business Logic Errors: There may be custom logic or validations in place that prevent the insertion of certain records.
  Database Locking: The table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the insert operation from completing.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Validity: Ensure that the data being inserted into the SCUSTOM table adheres to all constraints and data types. Validate the data before attempting the insert.
