• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/CTXE_MSG032 - Sub type definition with key &1 is not inheriting from super type def. ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/CTXE_MSG032 indicates that there is an issue with subtype definitions in the context of the SAP Customizing Implementation (CFG) framework. Specifically, it suggests that a subtype definition is not correctly inheriting from its super type definition. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when defining custom types in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Inheritance: The subtype is not properly defined to inherit from the specified super type. This could be due to a typo in the subtype definition or an incorrect configuration.
  Missing Super Type: The super type that the subtype is supposed to inherit from may not exist or may not be correctly defined.
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues in the configuration settings that prevent the subtype from recognizing its super type.
  Data Consistency Issues: There might be inconsistencies in the data or definitions that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Subtype Definition: Verify that the subtype definition is correctly set up to inherit from the intended super type. Ensure that the key used in the subtype definition matches the key of the super type.
  Review Super Type: Ensure that the super type is correctly defined and exists in the system. Check for any changes that might have been made to the super type that could affect the subtype.
  Correct Configuration: If there are configuration settings related to the subtype and super type, review and correct them as necessary.
  Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the system to identify any discrepancies in the definitions. This can often be done through transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Recreate Subtype: If the issue persists, consider deleting and recreating the subtype definition to ensure that it is correctly linked to the super type.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) for configuration.
