• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX187 - Active customer fields for deactivated basic component(s) also deleted ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX187 indicates that there are active customer fields associated with basic components that have been deactivated. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) modules, particularly when dealing with customer-specific enhancements or modifications.
  Cause:
  
  Deactivation of Basic Components: The error arises when a basic component (like a field or a structure) that was previously active has been deactivated, but there are still active customer fields that reference or depend on that component.
  Inconsistent Data Model: The system expects that if a basic component is deactivated, all associated customer fields should also be deactivated or removed to maintain data integrity.
  Custom Enhancements: If there are custom fields or enhancements that were created in the system, they may still be active even after the basic component they rely on has been deactivated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Deactivated Components: Check the list of deactivated basic components in your system. Identify which components are causing the issue.
  Deactivate Customer Fields: If you find that there are active customer fields associated with the deactivated components, you will need to deactivate or delete those customer fields.
  Adjust Custom Enhancements: If you have custom enhancements, review them to ensure they do not reference any deactivated components. You may need to modify or remove these enhancements.
  Re-activate Components: If the deactivation of the basic component was not intended, consider reactivating it if it is still needed for your business processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific components and customer fields to understand the implications of deactivation.
