  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/TG_NACH016 - Trigger &1 (service &2) cannot be changed (see Customizing) ?

    The SAP error message /SCMB/TG_NACH016 Trigger &1 (service &2) cannot be changed (see Customizing) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is an attempt to modify a trigger or service that is not allowed due to the current configuration settings in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Configuration Restrictions: The trigger or service you are trying to change is likely configured in a way that prevents modifications. This could be due to settings in the Customizing (SPRO) transaction.
    2. Active Processes: If there are active processes or transactions that depend on the trigger or service, the system may restrict changes to maintain data integrity.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the specified trigger or service.

    Solution:

    1. Check Customizing Settings:

      • Go to the Customizing settings (transaction SPRO) and navigate to the relevant area for the trigger or service you are trying to modify.
      • Review the settings to see if there are restrictions in place that prevent changes.
    2. Review Active Processes:

      • Check if there are any active processes or transactions that are using the trigger or service. If so, you may need to complete or terminate those processes before making changes.
    3. User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user attempting to make the change has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust user roles if needed.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the trigger or service in question. This may provide insights into why changes are restricted.
