  The SAP error message /SMB/BBPRJ_INST461 Customizing Object is empty typically indicates that a required customizing object is not properly defined or is missing in the system. This error often arises in the context of SAP Business ByDesign or similar SAP modules where specific configurations are necessary for the system to function correctly.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Customizing Entries: The customizing object that the system is trying to access does not have any entries defined.
