How To Fix GG659 - Note the consequences of installing or deleting

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GG - Messages for FI-SL customizing

• Message number: 659

• Message text: Note the consequences of installing or deleting

What causes this issue?

You should never install a table or delete an installation in a
currently productive system. You should also not install in your test
client if the test client and the productive client operate on the same
system and postings have already been made in the productive client.
This is because you will change control tables that may currently be
being processed. Entries in cross-client tables will also be changed.
The installation effects all clients in your system.
In addition to this, the generation techniques will generate new
programs, which will overwrite and replace the presently functioning
programs. This can lead to abnormal program terminations and errors in
the postings.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
