  The SAP error message /SMBA0/GOC004 BC Set touches multiple Tables/Views typically occurs when you are trying to activate a Business Configuration (BC) Set that is designed to modify multiple database tables or views, and there are certain constraints or issues preventing this from happening.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Table/Views Modification: The BC Set you are trying to activate is attempting to make changes to multiple tables or views, which may not be allowed due to system constraints or configuration settings.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be existing data in the tables/views that conflict with the changes being made by the BC Set.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to activate the BC Set may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to all the affected tables/views.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that restricts modifications to certain tables/views, especially in production environments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the BC Set: Review the BC Set to understand which tables/views it is trying to modify. You can do this by using transaction code SBCS to analyze the contents of the BC Set.
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data in the affected tables/views is consistent and does not conflict with the changes being made. You may need to clean up or adjust the data before activating the BC Set.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to activate the BC Set. You may need to consult with your security team to ensure the correct roles and permissions are assigned.
  System Settings: If the system is configured to restrict changes, you may need to consult with your Basis team or system administrator to understand the configuration and whether it can be adjusted.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the BC Set cannot be activated due to these constraints, consider using alternative methods to implement the required changes, such as manual configuration or using other tools provided by SAP.
