Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PR_MDCHECK029 - GUID &1 only exists in COMM_CATEGORYT, not in COMM_CATEGORY ?

  The SAP error message COM_PR_MDCHECK029 indicates that there is a mismatch between the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) of a product in the COMM_CATEGORYT table and its corresponding entry in the COMM_CATEGORY table. This typically occurs in the context of product master data management, particularly when dealing with product categories in SAP Commerce or SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The GUID exists in the COMM_CATEGORYT table, which usually contains translations or text descriptions for categories, but there is no corresponding entry in the COMM_CATEGORY table, which holds the actual category data.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were recent changes in the category structure, it could lead to inconsistencies.
  Deletion of Categories: If a category was deleted from the COMM_CATEGORY table but its translations still exist in COMM_CATEGORYT, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Integrity: Verify the entries in both COMM_CATEGORY and COMM_CATEGORYT tables. Ensure that every GUID in COMM_CATEGORYT has a corresponding entry in COMM_CATEGORY.
  Recreate Missing Entries: If you find that a GUID is missing in COMM_CATEGORY, you may need to recreate the category entry. This can be done through the SAP GUI or relevant transaction codes.
  Delete Orphaned Entries: If the GUID in COMM_CATEGORYT is no longer needed, consider deleting the orphaned entry from COMM_CATEGORYT to resolve the inconsistency.
  Data Migration Review: If this issue arose after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that all necessary data was transferred correctly.
  Use SAP Tools: Utilize SAP tools or reports that can help identify and fix inconsistencies in master data.
  
  Related Information:
