  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/CFG007 - Specify a Customizing request ?

    The SAP error message /BCV/CFG007 Specify a Customizing request typically occurs when you are trying to perform a configuration or customization task in the SAP system, but the system requires you to specify a customizing request (also known as a transport request) to save your changes.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Customizing Request: The system expects you to specify a transport request to record the changes you are making. This is a common requirement in SAP to ensure that changes can be transported between different environments (e.g., from development to quality assurance to production).
    2. User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or assign a customizing request.
    3. System Configuration: The system may not be properly configured to allow for customizing requests in the current context.

    Solution:

    1. Specify a Customizing Request:

      • When prompted by the error message, you need to either create a new customizing request or select an existing one. You can do this by:
        • Clicking on the "Create" button to generate a new transport request.
        • Selecting an existing request from the list if you have one that is appropriate for the changes you are making.
    2. Check User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that your user account has the necessary authorizations to create and manage customizing requests. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify your roles and permissions.
    3. Review System Configuration:

      • If the issue persists, check the system configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly for customizing requests. This may involve checking the transport management system (TMS) settings.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed instructions on how to handle customizing requests in your specific context.

    Related Information:

    • Transport Requests: In SAP, transport requests are used to manage changes to the system. They can include changes to configuration, development objects, and other customizations.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE09 (Transport Organizer) and SE10 (Transport Organizer - Workbench Requests) to manage transport requests effectively.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to customizing requests or the error message you are encountering.

    If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
