SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity

• Message number: 240

• Message text: Table/view &1 in object &3 has a GUID (field &2) in its key

What causes this issue?

Switch BC sets: Table/view &V1& of object &V3& contains a GUID (field '
&V2&') in the key.
GUIDs are unique (generated) values that should have no significance in
the Customizing environment. However, GUIDs are only forbidden in the
key area of views/tables with generated maintenance dialog. For other
(database) tables, that is, tables without generated maintenance dialog,
an exception is possible in BC sets.

System Response

This case is a table/view with generated maintenance dialog that is part
of another object (&V3&). The complete object cannot be used in switch
BC sets because not all subobjects can be used.
