  Check Filter Object Assignment:
  
  Go to the Customizing settings for the Data Replication Framework.

  SAP Customizing Implementation Guide -> Logistics -> Master Data -> Data Replication Framework -> Define Replication Model
  
  Find the replication model in question and check the filter settings.
  Assign the appropriate filter object to the replication model.
  
  
  
  Validate Configuration:
  
  Ensure that all necessary configurations for both the replication model and the filter object are complete and correct.
  Check for any inconsistencies or missing settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Replication:
