• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINB_CONFIG063 - Configuration of &1 saved but not activated ?

  The SAP error message FINB_CONFIG063 indicates that a configuration change has been saved but not yet activated in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) or other related modules where configuration settings are made in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Saved but Not Activated: The configuration changes you made have been saved, but they have not been activated. In SAP, saving a configuration does not automatically apply it; activation is a separate step.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the configuration.
  Missing Dependencies: The configuration might depend on other settings that need to be activated first.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration transaction where you made the changes (e.g., SPRO).
  Navigate to the specific configuration area where you saved the changes.
  Look for an option to activate the configuration. This may be labeled as "Activate" or "Activate Changes."
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to activate the configuration. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies:
  
  Check if there are any prerequisite configurations that need to be activated first. Sometimes, configurations are interdependent, and activating one may require others to be activated as well.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the configuration is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific configuration you are working on for any additional steps or considerations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO (Customizing), SE09/SE10 (Transport Organizer), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific configuration you are working on.
  Community Forums: Consider visiting SAP Community forums or other online resources where similar issues may have been discussed.
