• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/BBPRJ_INST029 - BC Set & does not exist in system ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/BBPRJ_INST029 BC Set & does not exist in system typically indicates that the system is trying to access a Business Configuration (BC) Set that has not been defined or is not available in the current system. This can occur during the implementation of SAP Best Practices or when trying to activate a specific configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BC Set: The specified BC Set is not available in the system. This could be due to an incomplete installation or configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might be looking for a BC Set that is not relevant to the current version or configuration of the SAP system.
  Transport Issues: If the BC Set was supposed to be transported from another system (like a development or quality assurance system) and the transport did not occur, the BC Set will be missing.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the BC Set.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BC Set Availability:
  
  Use transaction code SIMG to check if the BC Set exists in the system.
