How To Fix SCPR664 - Transport request contains incomplete BC Sets - Cannot be released

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCPR - BC Sets

• Message number: 664

• Message text: Transport request contains incomplete BC Sets - Cannot be released

What causes this issue?

The transport request contains incomplete BC Sets, i.e. BC Sets which
contain incompletely specified data records. They were created/changed
by automatic customizing recording, which only put the data key in the
BC Set. They have not been subsequently completed with the BC Set
maintenance transaction SCPR3.

System Response

BC Sets can only be transported if they contain fully-specified data
records.
The transport request cannot be released.

How to fix this error?

Start the BC Set maintenance transaction SCPR3 and select "incomplete"
(Switch) BC Sets. Compare this list with the BC Sets in the transport
request (object "R3TR SCP1 <bcset_id>" is a classical BC Set, object
"R3TR SCP2 <bcset_id>" is a Switch BC Set). When you have identified all
incomplete BC Sets, go to change mode and choose a BC Set. All
incomplete data records are automatically completed. Save the BC Set,
choose the next one, if there is more than one, and repeat.
When all BC Sets have been completed, you should be able to release the
transport.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCPR664 - Transport request contains incomplete BC Sets - Cannot be released ?

  The SAP error message SCPR664 indicates that a transport request contains incomplete Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets), which prevents the transport request from being released. This error typically arises in the context of SAP S/4HANA or SAP Business Suite systems when working with configuration settings that are intended to be transported between different environments (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete BC Sets: The transport request includes BC Sets that have not been fully defined or are missing required components. This can happen if the configuration was not saved properly or if there are dependencies that have not been addressed.
