Symptom
- Attempting to copy a predefined email template in the Maintain Email Templates app (F1306A) fails.
- Error message displayed: System Configuration Error.
- The user wants to configure email notifications for the general journal entry workflow.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Maintain Email Templates app (F1306A).
- Try to copy a predefined email template.
- Observe that the action fails with the error “System Configuration Error”.
Cause
In Starter and Partner Demo Systems, extensibility functions are deactivated by design. Email templates are development objects under extensibility, so copying templates is not supported in these tenants, leading to “System Configuration Error”.
Resolution
- Verify the tenant type. If you are using a starter or partner demo tenant, note that copying email templates is not supported there.
- Switch to a non-starter tenant (for example, customizing/quality/production) where extensibility is enabled.
- In the target tenant, open Maintain Email Templates (F1306A) and copy the required predefined templates.
- Assign the copied email templates to the relevant workflow steps as needed.
