How To Fix SCPR484 - User settings have been updated; CP parameters are inactive

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCPR - BC Sets

• Message number: 484

• Message text: User settings have been updated; CP parameters are inactive

What causes this issue?

You have set default system settings for the BC Set transactions, with
the CP parameters (transaction SU01, "Parameters" tab). These
parameters are replaced by the new user settings (Utilities -> User
Settings).

System Response

The specified CP parameters are no longer used. The settings which you
can make in the user settings for each BC Set transaction, are now
relevant for the BC Set transactions.

How to fix this error?

The existing CP parameters can still be a template for your "Default
Settings", i.e. if you choose "Reset Default Values" in the user
settings, these parameters are read in by the system as proposed
values.
Possible CP parameters are:
CP13: Language Vector
This vector is a set of languages (internal format), e.g. if only the
languages German, English and French are to be recorded/activated in BC
Sets, enter the text "DEF" (without quotation marks). This is only ef
fective if you reset the user settings to your default values.
CP15: Automatic Customizing Recording
If this parameter has the value 'X', the automatic customizing
recording is activated, if you reset the user settings to your default
values.
All other CP parameters are insignificant for the user settings.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
