  The SAP error message /CFG/CS_MSG033 indicates that there are record keys in a configuration table that exist in versions other than "C" (current) or "H" (historical). This typically occurs in the context of configuration settings, particularly in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) or when dealing with configuration tables in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Versioning Issues: The error arises when there are entries in the configuration table that are not marked as current or historical. This can happen if:
  
  Records were created in a different version that is not recognized as valid for the current operation.
  There are inconsistencies in the versioning of the records due to manual changes or data imports.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity: The system expects that only the current and historical versions of records should be present for certain operations, and any other versions can lead to data integrity issues.
