How To Fix S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY058 - A Before Export method has been defined for the object &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity

• Message number: 058

• Message text: A Before Export method has been defined for the object &1

What causes this issue?

Before Export method: The existence of a Before Export method prevents
the object being put in a BC Set.
A Before Export method, which runs at the transport release event, has
been defined for this object. As this event does not occur when putting
data in a BC Set, the Before Export method does not run.
A Before Export method usually makes checks, but it can also change
system tables for which the standard transport mechanism is inadequate
or inappropriate for this object.
Such objects can generally not be used in BC Sets, because the source
system can be in an "undefined" status after putting data in the BC Set
and transporting or activating it (because the Before Export method has
not run).

How to fix this error?

Contact the the SAP developer responsible for the object, who should
analyze the Before Export method according to the following criteria:
If the method only performs checks, it can be used, because it would not
restrict the BC Set functionality in this case (if it does not have
other restrictions ).
If the method changes system settings/tables, confirm the restriction.
<ZH>This will deactivate all BC Set functions for this object</>.
