How To Fix S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY161 - View/table &2 added to object &1 manually

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity

• Message number: 161

• Message text: View/table &2 added to object &1 manually

What causes this issue?

The table/view &V2& was added to the object &V1& manually when the BC
Set or request was created. It is not in the object definition (see
transaction SOBJ).

System Response

The BC Set display/maintenance transactions display the table/view as
part of the object &V1&. The activation procedure also regards the
table/view as part of the object, and activates it, with any other
tables/views, as part of the object.

How to fix this error?

A table/view is usually only added to an existing object if it is
missing in the object definition (SOBJ) piece list. If it is part of the
object, the SAP developer responsible for the object must put it in the
object piece list in SOBJ.
If the table/view is independent of an object, this is a legitimate way
of putting an object-independent table/view in the BC Set. There is not
yet any other way of putting such a table/view in BC Sets, independently
of an object.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
