• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCPR658 - Generic deletions are forbidden in classic BC Set &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCPR658, which states "Generic deletions are forbidden in classic BC Set &1," typically occurs when you are trying to delete or modify a Business Configuration Set (BC Set) in a way that is not allowed by the system. This error is related to the management of BC Sets in SAP, which are used to transport configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Generic Deletion Attempt: The error arises when there is an attempt to perform a generic deletion on a classic BC Set. In SAP, classic BC Sets are designed to maintain certain integrity and consistency, and generic deletions (which could affect multiple entries) are not permitted.
  Configuration Lock: The BC Set may be locked or in a state that does not allow modifications or deletions.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion or modification of the BC Set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the BC Set: Review the specific BC Set mentioned in the error message. Ensure that you are not trying to perform a generic deletion. Instead, you should specify the exact entries you want to delete.
  Use Specific Deletion: If you need to delete specific entries, make sure to do so individually rather than attempting a bulk or generic deletion.
  Unlock the BC Set: If the BC Set is locked, you may need to unlock it or check with your system administrator to see if it can be modified.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify or delete entries in the BC Set. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing BC Sets and the specific constraints related to deletions.
