• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS326 - More than one PFCG mapping metadata entries exist ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS326 indicates that there are multiple PFCG (Profile Generator) mapping metadata entries for a specific authorization object or role. This situation can arise when there are inconsistencies in the authorization data, particularly when roles or profiles are duplicated or incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause is that there are duplicate entries in the PFCG mapping for the same authorization object or role.
  Transport Issues: If roles or profiles have been transported between systems, inconsistencies may arise if the transport did not include all necessary objects or if there were conflicts.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to roles or profiles that were not properly synchronized can lead to multiple entries.
  System Upgrades: Sometimes, system upgrades or patches can lead to inconsistencies in the authorization data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to check the roles and their associated authorization objects.
  Look for any duplicate entries in the role definitions and mappings.
  
  
  
  Delete or Merge Duplicates:
  
  If duplicates are found, you may need to delete or merge them. Ensure that you have a backup of the roles before making changes.
  You can also use transaction SUIM to analyze roles and profiles for duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Run the report RSUSR003 to check for inconsistencies in user authorizations.
  Use transaction SU25 to perform a consistency check on the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects are included in the transport request.
  Check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate issues with the authorization data.
  
  
  
  Recreate Roles:
  
  In some cases, it may be easier to recreate the affected roles from scratch rather than trying to fix the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
