3235000 - System is not configured to create or change business objects in SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Symptom

Trying to open a Custom Business Object in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Productive System/Test system and the system is showing the error message "System is not configured to create or change business objects". 

or

Trying to add a Custom Catalog Extension to a Custom Business Object in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Productive System/Test System and the system is showing the error message "System is not configured to create or change business objects". 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Cause

Custom Business Objects are development objects and falls under the category of Key User Extensibility objects.

  • For 2SL System, Extensibility functions are not available in Production Environments. Extensions should be made in the corresponding Test System and transported to Production.
  • For 3SL System, Extensibility functions are not available in Production Environments/Test Environment. Extensions should be made in the corresponding Development -Customizing System and transport to test and production system.

As a result, it's not possible to edit the Custom Business Objects in Production system, this is why error "System is not configured to create or change business objects" occurs. 

Resolution

If users only want to view the configuration of Custom Business Objects, the error message can be ignored.

However, if users want to make any changes, such as assigning a Custom Catalog Extension to the CBO:

  • For 2SL Systems, changes need to be made in the Quality System and then transported to the Production System.

  • For 3SL Systems, changes should be made in the Development - Customizing System and then transport to test and production system.
