• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_DML_CUST003 - Short description for DDIC object & not found ?

  The SAP error message COM_DML_CUST003 typically indicates that there is a problem related to a Data Dictionary (DDIC) object that is expected but not found. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during data processing, configuration, or when accessing certain functionalities in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing DDIC Object: The most common cause is that the specified Data Dictionary object (like a table, view, or structure) does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The object was never created.
  The object was deleted or not transported correctly.
  There is a typo in the object name.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system (like Development to Quality or Production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DDIC object, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  
  Namespace Issues: If the object is in a different namespace or client, it may not be accessible in the current context.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the DDIC object exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the object.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the object is missing, check the transport logs to ensure that it was included in the transport request. If it was not, you may need to create a new transport request to include the object.
  
  
  Recreate the Object: If the object was deleted and is necessary for your processes, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you have the correct definition and structure.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the DDIC object. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  Namespace Verification: If the object is in a different namespace, ensure that you are referencing it correctly, and that you have access to that namespace.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the error persists, consult SAP documentation or support for further troubleshooting steps specific to your version and configuration.
