• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCPR166 - IMG display switched to Project IMG &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCPR166 indicates that the system has switched the display to the Project Implementation Guide (IMG) for a specific project. This typically occurs when you are trying to access the standard IMG but the system recognizes that you are working within a project context.
  Cause:
  
  Project Context: The user is working in a project that has been defined in the system. When you try to access the IMG, the system automatically redirects you to the project-specific IMG.
  Configuration Settings: The system is configured to prioritize project-specific settings over the standard settings.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the standard IMG directly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Access the Standard IMG: If you want to access the standard IMG instead of the project-specific one, you can do so by using the transaction code SPRO and selecting the option to display the standard IMG. You may need to navigate through the menu to find the correct option.
  Check Project Settings: If you are working on a project and need to access the project-specific IMG, ensure that you are aware of the project settings and configurations that are in place.
  User Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access both the project-specific and standard IMG. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
  Switching Projects: If you need to switch to a different project or back to the standard IMG, you can do this through the project management tools in SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SPRO (to access the IMG) and SIMG (to access the project IMG).
  Project Management: Understanding how projects are set up in SAP and how they relate to the IMG can help in navigating these issues.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on IMG navigation and project management.
