Cause

Missing Business Catalog.

Resolution

In the Project Experience, after searching for the Configuration activity you can see the ID number for this activity.

Having the ID number, you can find what catalog is needed for each configuration after downloading the Excel file Configuration apps from the Best Practices Explorer accelerators:

*Please login to the Best Practices Explorer for being able to see all the accelerators.
 
After you search on IMG_Act BusinessCatalog Match sheet with the numeric ID of the configuration activity the business catalog will be displayed.

If there is no ID for the activity you are looking for, please refer to SAP KBA 3211415 - CBC: "Go to Activity" button is grayed out and transaction code is BO_X4_<scope item ID> 

Please refer to the below example:

1- In Project Experience -> Configuration Activities -> search for Activate Flexible Workflow for Purchase Requisitions

2- The ID for this activity is 102911

3- Then in the Configuration apps file, IMG_Act BusinessCatalog Match sheet -> search for 102911

4- The column C will show the needed business catalog

5- This catalog should be added to BPC_EXPERT business role (or similar role you are using)

You can also follow the 5 steps mentioned above using the file Configuration Activity.xlsm (SAP Customer) which you can download in Roadmap Viewer under Explore phase.
