• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SFW430 - Planned deactivation ignored: ALWAYS-OFF BF &1 is on in client &2 ?

  The SAP error message SFW430 indicates that a planned deactivation of a business function (BF) is being ignored because the business function is marked as "ALWAYS-OFF" in the specified client. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Function Set (SFW) framework, which allows for the activation and deactivation of specific business functions in a client.
  Cause:
  
  Business Function Status: The business function you are trying to deactivate is set to "ALWAYS-OFF" in the client. This means that the function cannot be activated or deactivated in that particular client.
  Client Configuration: The client configuration may have restrictions or settings that prevent the deactivation of certain business functions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Business Function Status: Verify the status of the business function in the client. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code SFW5 (Business Function Activation) and checking the status of the relevant business function.
  Client Settings: If the business function is indeed marked as "ALWAYS-OFF," you will not be able to deactivate it. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to understand why this setting is in place and if it can be changed.
  Documentation Review: Review the SAP documentation or release notes for the specific business function to understand its implications and whether it is necessary for your business processes.
  Consult SAP Support: If you believe that the business function should not be marked as "ALWAYS-OFF," or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP Support for guidance.
