  The SAP error message SFW206 indicates that a business function has been successfully deactivated in the SAP system. This message is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense; rather, it is an informational message that confirms the action of deactivating a business function.
  Cause:
  The message is triggered when a user or administrator deactivates a business function in the SAP system. Business functions are part of the SAP Enhancement Package concept, allowing customers to enable or disable specific functionalities based on their business needs. The deactivation could be intentional (for example, to revert to a previous state or to troubleshoot) or unintentional (due to a misconfiguration or misunderstanding).
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Intent: Confirm whether the deactivation of the business function was intended. If it was not, you may need to reactivate the business function.
  
  
  Reactivation: If you need to reactivate the business function, you can do so through the SAP GUI:
  
  Go to transaction code SFW5.
  Select the relevant business function and activate it again.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that deactivating the business function does not affect other functionalities or processes in your SAP system. Review any dependencies or related business functions that may be impacted.
  
  
  Testing: After reactivation, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the functionalities provided by the business function are working as expected.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made, including the reason for deactivation and reactivation, to maintain a clear record for future reference.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Business Functions: Business functions are part of the SAP Enhancement Packages and allow for modular activation of features. Understanding the specific business function and its role in your SAP landscape is crucial.
