• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ER014 - City &1 does not exist in regional structure; display not possible ?

  The SAP error message ER014 indicates that the system cannot find the specified city in the regional structure. This typically occurs when the city is not defined in the system or is not properly linked to the relevant regional structure (such as country or state).
  Cause:
  
  City Not Defined: The city you are trying to access or use in a transaction does not exist in the SAP database.
  Incorrect Configuration: The city may not be properly configured in the regional structure, meaning it is not linked to the correct country or state.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as missing entries or incorrect relationships between cities and their respective regions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check City Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code OVK1 (for maintaining cities) or OVK2 (for displaying cities) to check if the city is defined in the system.
  If the city is not present, you will need to create it using the appropriate transaction.
  
  
  
  Maintain Regional Structure:
  
  Ensure that the city is correctly assigned to the appropriate regional structure. You can check this in the transaction code OVK3 (for maintaining the regional structure).
  Make sure that the city is linked to the correct country and state.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run a consistency check on your master data to identify any discrepancies. This can often be done through transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the relevant tables.
  Correct any inconsistencies found in the data.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the city was recently added or modified in a development environment, ensure that the changes have been transported to the production environment.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view or edit the city data.
