• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/Q2P107 - Modfications (such as activation) only allowed in project client ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/Q2P107 Modifications (such as activation) only allowed in project client typically occurs when you attempt to make modifications or activate certain features in a client that is not designated as a "project client." In SAP, a project client is a specific client configuration that allows for development and testing of new features or modifications without affecting the production environment.
  Cause:
  
  Client Type: The client you are working in is not set up as a project client. In SAP, there are different types of clients, such as production clients, test clients, and project clients. Modifications are restricted in non-project clients to ensure stability and integrity of the production environment.

  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict certain activities in specific clients.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Project Client: If you need to make modifications, switch to a client that is designated as a project client. This can typically be done by logging into the appropriate client number that has been set up for development or testing.
  Check Client Settings: Verify the client settings in transaction SCC4. Ensure that the client you are using is configured as a project client. If it is not, you may need to create a new project client or change the settings of an existing one (this usually requires administrative privileges).
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actions you are attempting. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to check your roles and permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific guidelines on client management and modification permissions.
