• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_API_SUBST000 - Parent &1 of object &2 is missing. ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_API_SUBST000 indicates that there is a missing parent object for a specified object in the system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Cloud Platform or when working with SAP Fiori applications, particularly when dealing with data models or entity relationships.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system is trying to access or manipulate an object (e.g., a business partner, product, or other entities) that has a hierarchical relationship with a parent object, but the parent object is not found in the database. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The parent object may have been deleted or not created properly.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the data model or relationships between objects.
  Transport Issues: If the objects were transported from one system to another, the parent object may not have been included in the transport.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the parent object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Existence:
  
  Verify that the parent object exists in the system. You can do this by querying the database or using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., SE11 for data dictionary, SE16 for table display).
  
  
  
  Review Data Relationships:
  
  Ensure that the relationships between the objects are correctly defined. Check the configuration settings in the relevant customizing transactions.
  
  
  
  Recreate Missing Parent:
  
  If the parent object is missing, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that all necessary data is provided to establish the relationship correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included and transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access both the parent and child objects. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the application or process that is generating the error to identify the exact point of failure.
