This typically occurs during the activation of a BC-Set or when trying to apply configuration settings that involve specific fields.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Configuration: The default value defined in the BC-Set does not match the value currently set in the system for that specific field.

  Solution:
  
  Check the BC-Set: Review the BC-Set configuration to understand what the expected default value is for the field in question.
  Update the Field Value: If the field's value in the system does not match the default value in the BC-Set, you can either:
  
  Change the field value in the system to match the default value in the BC-Set.
  Update the BC-Set to reflect the current value in the system if that value is correct and should be retained.
  
  
  Re-apply the BC-Set: After making the necessary adjustments, try to re-apply the BC-Set to see if the error persists.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BC-Set and field for any additional guidance or known issues.
