SF146
- Customer exits can only be active in customer systems ?The SAP error message SF146, which states "Customer exits can only be active in customer systems," typically occurs when you are trying to activate or use a customer exit in a non-customer system, such as a development or quality assurance system. This error is related to the way SAP handles customer exits, which are enhancements that allow customers to add their own functionality to standard SAP applications.
Cause:
- System Type: The error arises because customer exits are designed to be implemented in customer systems (i.e., production systems) and not in SAP's standard systems or environments that are not designated for customer modifications.
- Transport Layer: If you are trying to transport a customer exit from a development system to a quality assurance system, and the exit is not properly configured or is being activated in a system that does not allow it, this error can occur.
Solution:
- Check System Type: Ensure that you are working in a customer system where customer exits can be activated. If you are in a development or quality assurance system, you may need to switch to a production or customer system.
- Transport Request: If you are trying to transport a customer exit, make sure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the exit is properly defined in the development system before transporting it to the target system.
- Activation: If you need to activate a customer exit, do so in the appropriate customer system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that you are in the correct environment.
- SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates regarding customer exits and their activation. Sometimes, there may be specific notes addressing issues related to customer exits.
