System Response

The IMG activity, with all its objects, has been examined for BC Set
compatibility in this system. You can edit the detailed information.
<ZH>Note:</>
The IMG activity and the customizing object can only be maintained in

this system (edit messages, set scenario exceptions), but changes to
the IMG activity or customizing object in the original system also
affect this system.

How to fix this error?

Maintain the customizing object &V1& in the original system &V2& and

changes have been transported (if possible).
Set any scenario exceptions after you have edited the object.

The customizing object attributes and the functional (scenario)
exceptions are checked by all BC Set transactions, so for example, the
insertion or activation of data for objects which are not BC Set
compatible, is forbidden.
If you have further questions, contact the person responsible for the

  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all related transport requests are consistent and that they have been properly imported into the target system. You may need to re-import or adjust the transport requests.
  Use Transaction SPRO: If you are trying to access the IMG activity through transaction SPRO, ensure that you are in the correct client and that the necessary authorizations are in place.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
