• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY196 - View/table &1 in object &2 is too wide to put in BC Sets ?

  The SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY196 indicates that a specific view or table is too wide to be included in Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). This typically occurs when the structure of the table or view exceeds the limitations set by the BC Set framework in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Table/View Width: The error is primarily caused by the width of the table or view being too large. BC Sets have limitations on the number of fields or the total size of the data that can be included.
  Data Structure: The structure of the data being captured may have too many fields or the fields may be of large data types, which can lead to exceeding the maximum allowed size for BC Sets.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings or customizations may lead to the creation of wide tables or views that are not compatible with BC Sets.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Table/View Structure: Analyze the structure of the table or view mentioned in the error message. Identify if there are any unnecessary fields that can be excluded from the BC Set.
  Create a Custom BC Set: If possible, create a custom BC Set that only includes the necessary fields or data that are required for your configuration.
  Split the Data: If the table or view is inherently wide, consider splitting the data into multiple BC Sets if applicable. This may involve creating separate BC Sets for different logical groupings of data.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions for this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance. They may provide insights specific to your SAP version or configuration.
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SIMG (Implementation Guide) and SCC1 (Client Copy) that may help in managing configurations and BC Sets.
  
  By addressing the structure of the table or view and ensuring that it complies with the limitations of BC Sets, you should be able to resolve the error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY196.
