• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IM660 - Customizing of screen areas is incomplete for notification type &1 ?

  The SAP error message IM660, which states "Customizing of screen areas is incomplete for notification type &1," typically occurs when there is a configuration issue related to the notification type in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or SAP Customer Service (CS) modules, where notifications are used to report issues or requests.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incomplete Customization: The screen areas for the specified notification type have not been fully configured in the system. This can happen if the necessary settings in the customizing transaction have not been completed.
  Missing Entries: There may be missing entries in the customizing tables that define the screen layout and fields for the notification type.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, some necessary settings might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IM660 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to the relevant section for Plant Maintenance or Customer Service.
  Look for the settings related to "Notification" and ensure that all necessary screen areas and fields are configured for the notification type in question.
  
  
  
  Maintain Screen Layout:
  
  Use transaction code OIMR (for PM) or OIMC (for CS) to maintain the screen layout for notifications.
  Ensure that the notification type specified in the error message has all required fields and screen areas defined.
  
  
  
  Check for Missing Entries:
  
  Verify that all required entries in the customizing tables (like IMTYP for notification types) are present and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the necessary configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the notification creation process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
