• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHENV_ADC_IMPORT032 - Cannot overwrite a data record at &1 because of deviation with ID "&2" ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHENV_ADC_IMPORT032 indicates that there is an issue with importing or updating a data record in the system. Specifically, the error states that the system cannot overwrite a data record at a specified location (indicated by &1) due to a deviation with a specific ID (indicated by &2). This typically occurs in the context of data import processes, such as when using the Application Data Consolidation (ADC) functionality in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Integrity Violation: The error usually arises when there is a conflict between the existing data record and the incoming data. This could be due to:
  
  The incoming data has a different structure or format than what is expected.
  The existing record has been modified or locked, preventing the overwrite.
  There are validation rules or constraints that the incoming data does not satisfy.
  
  
  
  Deviation ID: The deviation ID (&2) refers to a specific issue or rule that has been violated. This could be related to business rules, data quality checks, or other validation mechanisms in place.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Data: Review the existing data record at the specified location (&1) to understand its current state and why the incoming data cannot overwrite it. Look for any discrepancies in data formats, values, or structures.
  
  
  Review Deviation ID: Investigate the deviation ID (&2) to understand what specific rule or validation is being violated. This may involve checking configuration settings, business rules, or data quality checks that are in place.
  
  
  Data Validation: Ensure that the incoming data meets all necessary validation criteria before attempting to import it again. This may involve:
  
  Cleaning or transforming the data to match the expected format.
  Ensuring that all required fields are populated and valid.
  
  
  
  Locking Issues: If the existing record is locked, you may need to wait until the lock is released or resolve any issues that are causing the lock.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance related to the ADC functionality and the error message.
  
  
  Testing: If possible, test the import process with a smaller dataset or in a development environment to identify and resolve issues before applying changes in a production environment.
