• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPIC_BACO_PROG_BPSOT002 - Internal GUID was created because no external GUID was handed over ?

  The SAP error message EPIC_BACO_PROG_BPSOT002 indicates that an internal GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) was generated because no external GUID was provided during a process that requires it. This typically occurs in scenarios involving integration or data transfer where an external identifier is expected but not supplied.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing External GUID: The primary cause of this error is that the system expected an external GUID to be passed to it, but it was not provided. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration in the integration settings.
  Issues in the data mapping or transformation process.
  Missing or incomplete data in the source system.
  
  
  
  Integration Issues: If the error occurs during an integration process (e.g., between SAP and another system), it may indicate that the external system did not send the required GUID.
  
  
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements in place, they may not be handling the GUID correctly, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Input: Ensure that the external GUID is being passed correctly from the source system or during the data entry process. Validate the data mapping and transformation logic.

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the process to identify where the GUID is expected and why it is not being provided. Look for any custom code that may be involved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or process you are working with. There may be known issues or additional configuration steps required.
