How To Fix SCPR520 - Table/view &1 cannot be used in BC Sets

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCPR - BC Sets

• Message number: 520

• Message text: Table/view &1 cannot be used in BC Sets

What causes this issue?

You cannot put the view or table with text table (S table) '&V1&' in a
BC Set.
This can be because:
There is no piece list (there must be tables in the transaction SOBJ,
from which the data is read, for each BC Set-relevant view or S table).
The view/S table has a BEFORE-EXPORT method which may only fill the
tables when they are exported from the system. As the BC Set does not
know this logic, the data is not copied.
The maintenance dialog is based on the table maintenance tools (SM30,
SM34, SM30/SM34 parameter transactions) and manual actions, which fill
tables in the background, run at events.
If it is a view, its definition could be inconsistent:
There are gaps in the key: All key fields must be consecutive at the
beginning of the view.
A key field is a GUID (Global Unique Identifier) or is longer than 255
characters (e.g. a field of data type STRING).
The view is "READ ONLY".
Parts of the view are not assigned to a customizing delivery class.

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

If it is a table, it must be
assigned to a customizing delivery class.
It is explicitly forbidden, for technical reasons.
