• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST100 - Program must not be executed in clean client ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST100 Program must not be executed in clean client typically occurs when a program or transaction is executed in a "clean client" environment. A clean client is a client in SAP that has not been customized or configured, often used for testing or development purposes. This error indicates that the program you are trying to run is not designed to be executed in such an environment.
  Cause:
  
  Clean Client Environment: The program is likely designed to work in a fully configured client with specific settings, data, and customizations. Running it in a clean client means that the necessary configurations or data are missing.
  Missing Customization: The program may rely on certain customizations or data that are not present in a clean client.
  Development or Testing Phase: The program may be intended for use in a production or fully configured environment, and executing it in a clean client is not supported.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Configured Client: To resolve this error, you should execute the program in a client that has been properly configured and contains the necessary data and customizations.
  Check Program Documentation: Review the documentation for the program to understand its requirements and ensure that you are in the correct environment.
  Consult with Basis or Development Team: If you are unsure about the configurations needed, consult with your SAP Basis team or the development team responsible for the program. They can provide guidance on the necessary settings or data.
  Testing in a Sandbox: If you need to test the program, consider using a sandbox environment that mirrors your production environment rather than a clean client.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or updates related to the program or error message.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in configuring the client or checking the program's prerequisites.
