• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_RE027 - Building part type does not exist; see long text ?

  The SAP error message CMS_RE027 indicates that a specific building part type does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Real Estate Management (RE) module, particularly when dealing with master data related to buildings and their components.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The building part type you are trying to use has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a configuration oversight during the setup of the Real Estate Management module.
  Incorrect Input: The input data may contain a typo or an incorrect reference to a building part type that is not available in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), the transport may not have included the necessary building part type definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for building part types in the SAP system. This is typically found under the Real Estate Management settings.
  Ensure that the building part type you are trying to use is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Create Missing Building Part Type:
  
  If the building part type does not exist, you may need to create it. This can usually be done through the customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) where you can define new building part types.
  
  
  
  Verify Input Data:
  
  Double-check the input data for any typos or incorrect references. Ensure that the building part type code you are using matches exactly with what is defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that the transport included all necessary objects and configurations. You may need to re-transport or manually create the missing building part type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to Real Estate Management for additional guidance on building part types and their configuration.
