• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_EXCEPTION003 - Structure &1 cannot be a lookup table; it is mapped to target structures ?

  The SAP error message DMC_EXCEPTION003 indicates that there is an issue with the data mapping in the Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) where a structure is being treated as a lookup table, but it is already mapped to target structures. This typically occurs during data migration processes when the system expects a certain configuration for the data structures involved.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Mapping: The structure in question is likely being used in a way that conflicts with its intended use as a lookup table. Lookup tables are generally used to provide reference data, while target structures are meant to hold the actual data being migrated.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data migration settings or the way the structures are defined in the DMC.
  Duplicate Usage: The same structure might be mapped to multiple target structures, which can lead to confusion in how the data should be processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Mapping: Check the mapping configuration
