• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F2453 - Related customer of vendor &1 is &2; however, entry in &3 is different ?

  The SAP error message F2453 indicates a mismatch between the customer and vendor relationship in the system. Specifically, it suggests that the system has identified a related customer for a vendor, but the entry in the specified table (usually related to customer or vendor master data) is different from what is expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The primary cause of this error is a data inconsistency between the vendor master data and the customer master data. This can occur if:
  
  The vendor is linked to a customer that has been changed or deleted.
  There are multiple entries for the same vendor or customer with different details.
  Manual changes were made to either the vendor or customer records that did not synchronize properly.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that lead to incorrect relationships being established between customers and vendors.
  
  
  Master Data Maintenance: If the master data for either the customer or vendor was not maintained correctly, it could lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Master Data: 
  
  Review the vendor master data (transaction code XK03) and customer master data (transaction code XD03) to ensure that the related entries are consistent.
  Look for discrepancies in the customer number associated with the vendor.
  
  
  
  Correct Inconsistencies:
  
  If you find inconsistencies, correct them by updating the vendor or customer master data as necessary.
  Ensure that the related customer for the vendor is correctly defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like XK02 (Change Vendor) and XD02 (Change Customer) to make necessary adjustments.
  If the issue is related to a specific table (as indicated by &3 in the error message), check that table for any discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to customer-vendor integration in the SAP system. This may involve checking the settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.
