• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY156 - At least one table for object &1 explicitly forbidden for BC Sets ?

  The SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY156 indicates that there is a restriction on using certain tables for Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). This error typically arises when you attempt to create or modify a BC Set that includes tables that are not allowed to be included in such sets.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Restricted Tables: Some tables in SAP are explicitly forbidden from being included in BC Sets due to their critical nature or the potential for data inconsistency.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may have specific settings that prevent certain tables from being part of BC Sets to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Table: Check the error message for the specific table name indicated by &1. This will help you understand which table is causing the issue.
  
  
  Review BC Set Contents: If you are trying to include this table in a BC Set, you will need to remove it from the set. Review the contents of your BC Set and ensure that it only includes tables that are permitted.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BC Sets to understand which tables are allowed and which are not. This can provide insights into the restrictions in place.
  
  
  Alternative Approaches: If you need to transport or configure settings related to the restricted table, consider using other methods such as:
  
  Transport requests
  Custom development
  Manual configuration in the target system
