• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GS804 - Check the inconsistent sets in client &1 (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message GS804 indicates that there are inconsistencies in the sets defined in the specified client. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's set management, which is used for managing groups of data records, such as in the context of authorization, reporting, or data selection.
  Cause:
  The inconsistency can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Data Corruption: There may be corruption in the set definitions or the underlying data.
  Incomplete Configuration: If sets were not properly configured or if there were changes made to the underlying data structures without updating the sets.
  Transport Issues: If sets were transported between systems (e.g., from development to production) and not all dependencies were correctly transported.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to the set definitions or related data that do not comply with the expected structure.
