• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/CUSTOMIZING008 - BC Set &1 does not exist in current system ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/CUSTOMIZING008 BC Set &1 does not exist in current system typically indicates that a Business Configuration (BC) Set referenced in your configuration or customization does not exist in the current SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the implementation of SAP Business ByDesign or when working with SAP S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BC Set: The specified BC Set (indicated by &1 in the error message) has not been imported or activated in the current system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration might be pointing to a BC Set that is not applicable to the current system version or client.
  Transport Issues: If the BC Set was supposed to be transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or the transport may have failed.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check BC Set Availability:
  
  Use transaction code SBCS (Business Configuration Sets) to check if the BC Set exists in the system.
  If it does not exist, you may need to import it from another system or create it if it is custom.

  Review Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration settings to ensure that they are pointing to the correct BC Set. If the configuration is incorrect, update it to reference the correct BC Set.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check the SAP documentation or release notes for the specific version you are using to see if there are any changes or prerequisites related to the BC Set.
