What causes this issue?

You have maintained default sets and saved the data. However, one set
has not been activated . This is indicated by a yellow light. Active
default sets are shown with a green light. Faulty default sets are shown
with a red light. Sets are faulty if the activation has failed once
before. This may be caused by incorrect parameters.
If you save the inactive default set, the system will not use this set
for the conversion process.

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

System Response

The system saves all entered sets to the database.

How to fix this error?

If you want inactive sets to be used, go back to this transaction and
activate the sets by choosing <ZK>Active single set</> or <ZK>Activate
w/o check</> or <ZK>Mass Activation</>. Note that if you choose
<ZK>Activate w/o check</>, incorrect sets may be saved which lead to
quantity conversion errors when goods movements are posted.

  Activate the Default Set:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., SPRO) where the default set is defined.
  Navigate to the section where default sets are managed.
  Find the specific default set that is inactive and activate it.

  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that all necessary configurations related to the default set are correctly set up.
  Review any dependencies that might affect the activation of the default set.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
