  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_BCFG_SCPR_IMPL056 - Tables in switch BC sets must have consistent client-dependent attribute. ?

    The SAP error message S_BCFG_SCPR_IMPL056 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the client-dependent attributes of the tables defined in a Business Configuration (BC) set during a switch operation. This typically occurs when the configuration settings for the tables do not align with the expected client-dependent settings.

    Cause:

    1. Inconsistent Client-Dependent Settings: The tables included in the BC set may have been defined with different client-dependent attributes, which means that some tables are set to be client-dependent while others are not.
    2. Configuration Errors: There may be errors in the configuration of the BC set itself, where the tables are not properly aligned in terms of their client dependency.
    3. Transport Issues: If the BC set was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport that caused inconsistencies.

    Solution:

    1. Review the BC Set Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code SIMG or SPRO and navigate to the relevant BC set configuration.
      • Check the tables included in the BC set and ensure that they all have consistent client-dependent attributes.
    2. Adjust Table Attributes:

      • If you find that some tables are incorrectly set as client-dependent or client-independent, adjust their settings to ensure consistency.
      • You can do this in the Data Dictionary (transaction code SE11) by checking the table definitions.
    3. Recreate the BC Set:

      • If the inconsistencies are too complex to resolve, consider recreating the BC set from scratch, ensuring that all tables are correctly defined with consistent attributes.
    4. Check Transport Logs:

      • If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate what went wrong during the transport process.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on resolving similar issues.
    6. Testing:

      • After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the BC set works as expected and that the error does not reoccur.

    Related Information:

    • Client-Dependent vs. Client-Independent: In SAP, client-dependent tables store data that is specific to a particular client (e.g., company code, plant), while client-independent tables store data that is shared across all clients.
    • BC Sets: Business Configuration sets are used in SAP to manage configuration settings for different business scenarios and can be transported between systems.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SIMG (Implementation Guide), and SPRO (Customizing) for configuration management.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
