What causes this issue?

According to the settings of the application &V1& in Customizing
(transaction DRFIMG), the current distribution step is to be performed
as a delta distribution. For delta distribution, a From-edition must
exist from which a data set has already been successfully distributed in
an earlier step.
A From-edition could not be determined here; the system instead
performs a full distribution of the entity types concerned, including
all changes made so far.

System Response

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD_XI_PROXY017 - Full distribution will take place; no From-edition found for delta distr. ?

  The SAP error message USMD_XI_PROXY017 indicates that a full distribution is being triggered because the system cannot find a "From-edition" for delta distribution. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when dealing with data distribution processes.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing From-Edition: The error suggests that the system is unable to identify a valid "From-edition" for the delta distribution. This can happen if:
  
  The initial data load was not completed successfully.
  The edition from which the delta should be derived does not exist or has been deleted.
  There is a configuration issue in the distribution model.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the data has been modified in a way that the delta logic cannot determine the changes, it may default to a full distribution.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect settings in the MDG configuration related to the distribution process can lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Editions: Verify that the "From-edition" exists
