• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PR_MDCHECK071 - Incorrect assignment in &1: No set type with GUID &2 exists ?

  The SAP error message COM_PR_MDCHECK071 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a set type in the system. Specifically, it states that there is no set type associated with the provided GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Material Management (MM) modules, where set types are used to manage product data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Set Type: The GUID referenced in the error message does not correspond to any existing set type in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The set type was deleted or not created.
  The GUID is incorrect or has been mistyped.
  The set type was not properly activated or configured.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as orphaned records or references to non-existent set types.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the set type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the GUID: Check the GUID mentioned in the error message to ensure it is correct. You can do this by looking it up in the relevant tables or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to see if the set type exists.
  
  
  Check Set Type Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for set types in the relevant module (e.g., PLM or MM).
  Ensure that the set type associated with the GUID is correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Restore the Set Type: If the set type is missing, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if it was deleted.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the system to identify and resolve any orphaned records or inconsistencies. This can often be done using transaction codes like SLG1 (Application Log) to check for related logs.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly imported.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or patches that may address the issue.
