BRF263 - No errors found, but dependent tables will be changed


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: BRF - Messages for Business Rule Framework

  • Message number: 263

  • Message text: No errors found, but dependent tables will be changed

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The system tries to save the object although no explicit changes have
    been made to the object.
    The reasons for this can be as follows:
    The BRF knows dependent tables (such as TBRF200) that the system fills
    based on the data of the current object.
    It is possible that the actual object definition is correct but that the
    dependent tables have not been filled correctly. If you perform a
    where-used search, for example, this can lead to errors.
    Many BRF object types can fill some data of the object-specific tables
    independently. For example, result typing in the expression type
    <ZK>Simple Value Request</> (implementing class 0SM001) is already
    defined by the specification of a field of a DDIC structure. In the
    scope of corrections, such automated steps can be made more precise as
    required.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    The procedure depends on the namespace in which you are working:
    If the object belongs to the customer namespace, take the following
    steps:
    Call the object in change mode.
    Save the object directly.
    If the object belongs to the SAP customer namespace, the object is
    updated automatically by the support packages that are imported.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRF263 - No errors found, but dependent tables will be changed ?

    The SAP error message BRF263 ("No errors found, but dependent tables will be changed") typically occurs in the context of the Business Rule Framework (BRF) in SAP. This message indicates that while there are no errors in the rule definition itself, there are changes that will affect dependent tables or objects.

    Cause:

    1. Changes in Rule Definitions: You may have made changes to a rule or decision table that will impact other dependent objects or tables.
    2. Dependencies: The BRF rules may have dependencies on other tables or rules, and the system is alerting you that these dependencies will be affected by the changes you are making.
    3. Transport Requests: If you are working in a development environment and are preparing to transport changes, the system may warn you about potential impacts on other objects.

    Solution:

    1. Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies of the rule or decision table you are modifying. You can do this by navigating to the relevant BRF application and reviewing the associated objects.
    2. Assess Impact: Determine if the changes you are making are intended and if they will have the desired effect on the dependent tables. If necessary, consult with your team or stakeholders.
    3. Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the dependent tables behave as expected and that there are no unintended consequences.
    4. Documentation: Document the changes and their impacts for future reference, especially if you are working in a team environment or if the changes will be transported to other systems.

    Related Information:

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.
