CACSMD856 - Details

• The SAP error message CACSMD856 indicates that there is an issue with the linkage between a business partner and a central person in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an attempt to create or modify a business partner that is already linked to a central person.
