How To Fix S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY197 - SOBJ piece list for table/view &1 in object &2 is not consistent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity

• Message number: 197

• Message text: SOBJ piece list for table/view &1 in object &2 is not consistent

What causes this issue?

The object piece list (SOBJ) of table/view &V1& in object &V2& does not
match the piece list of the table/view in the Data Dictionary.

System Response

You can put object &V2& and subobject &V1& (table/view) in BC Sets. The
subobject definition piece list (SOBJ) is relevant for the BC Set
transactions.

How to fix this error?

As only the tables/views of subobject &V1& which are in your object
definition (SOBJ for table/view &V1&) can be put in BC Sets, probably
not all required tables for the object (see Data Dictionary) will be put
in BC Sets.
The SAP developer responsible for the object must compare the object
piece list for the table/view &V1& in the transaction SOBJ, with the
piece list in the Data Dictionary (SE11), and resolve differences in the
subobject piece lists. You can use the 'Adjust to Dictionary' pushbutton
in the transaction SOBJ. It is only active in change mode.

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.
