• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY158 - At least one table for object &1 explicitly forbidden for BC Sets ?

  The SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY158 indicates that there is an issue with Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets) in relation to a specific object. This error typically arises when you attempt to use a BC Set that includes a table or configuration that is not allowed to be modified or included in BC Sets.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Forbidden Tables: The object you are trying to include in the BC Set contains at least one table that is explicitly forbidden from being included in BC Sets. This is a safeguard to prevent the modification of critical configuration data that could lead to inconsistencies or issues in the system.
  System Configuration: Certain tables are marked as sensitive or critical, and SAP restricts their inclusion in BC Sets to maintain system integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Forbidden Table: Check the object mentioned in the error message (&1) to identify which specific table is causing the issue. You may need to refer to the documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to get more details about the object and its associated tables.
  
  
  Review BC Set Configuration: If you have control over the BC Set, review its configuration to ensure that it does not include any forbidden tables. You may need to remove the offending table from the BC Set.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional information or updates regarding the specific object and its restrictions. SAP Notes can often provide insights into known issues and recommended practices.
  
  
  Alternative Approaches: If you need to transport or replicate the configuration, consider using other methods such as transport requests or manual configuration instead of BC Sets for the specific object.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on the specific context of your system and the error message.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BC Sets: Business Configuration Sets are used in SAP to transport configuration settings between systems. They allow for the easy transfer of settings but have restrictions to protect critical data.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on BC Sets and the specific objects you are working with.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SIMG (Implementation Guide) and SCC1 (Client Copy) that may help in managing configurations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY158 effectively.
