Cause

The reason why you are seeing this error is because there is a check implemented to maintain consistency between SuccessFactors and Business ByDesign. Descoping will not be allowed if you have successful replication requests between these two systems.

Resolution

The best way to restore the system to the pre-integration state is to create a service request from the Service Control Center Work Center to restore the system to its previous restoration point, when the integration was not scoped.

You can check if there is an active restoration point created in the Service Control Center Work Center, because it is only possible to rollback the tenant to a restore point if it is created accordingly.

Also, it is possible to terminate the tenant and request a new tenant from Service Control Center Work Center, if it is a test tenant.
