• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM216 - SAP Script will be stored as customized script &1 ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM216 indicates that a SAPscript form is being stored as a customized script. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to modify a standard SAPscript form, and the system is set to store the changes as a custom version rather than modifying the original standard form.
  Cause:
  
  Modification of Standard Form: The error is triggered when a user tries to change a standard SAPscript form. SAP has a mechanism to prevent direct changes to standard objects to ensure system integrity and upgrade compatibility.
  Transport Request: If the changes are being made in a development environment, the system may be set to store these changes in a transport request, which is a common practice in SAP environments.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the standard form directly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Custom Form: Instead of modifying the standard form directly, create a custom version of the form. You can do this by copying the standard form and then making your changes to the copy. This way, the original standard form remains intact.
  
  Use transaction SE71 to copy the standard form to a custom form.
  Make your modifications in the custom form.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify forms. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment and want to transport your changes to a quality or production environment, ensure that you are using a transport request to manage your custom form.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made to the custom form for future reference and for other team members who may work on the same form.
