• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/MC_MNGSOL_MSG008 - Action Only Allow in Q or P System ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/MC_MNGSOL_MSG008 Action Only Allowed in Q or P System typically indicates that a certain action or transaction is restricted to Quality (Q) or Production (P) systems. This is a common safeguard in SAP environments to prevent unintended changes in Development (D) systems, where testing and development activities are performed.
  Cause:
  
  System Type Restriction: The action you are trying to perform is restricted to Quality Assurance (Q) or Production (P) systems. This is a built-in security measure to ensure that only validated changes are made in environments that affect live data or are used for testing before going live.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have been configured to enforce this restriction as part of its governance and compliance policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Type: Verify the type of system you are working in. If you are in a Development (D) system, you will need to perform the action in a Q or P system.
  Transport Changes: If you need to make changes, consider transporting your changes from the Development system to the Quality or Production system, where the action is allowed.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you believe you should have access to perform the action in the current system, consult with your SAP Basis or security team to review the configuration and permissions.
  Testing in Q System: If you are testing a new configuration or functionality, ensure that you do this in the Quality system where such actions are permitted.
