How To Fix FDT_WD_TOOLS153 - Value &1 for data object &2 (row &3) does not exist in the value list

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_WD_TOOLS - Message Class for tools

• Message number: 153

• Message text: Value &1 for data object &2 (row &3) does not exist in the value list

What causes this issue?

You have imported test data for simulation from a spreadsheet file. In
row &v3&, the spreadsheet contains value &v1&. The system has validated
this value against the domain values that are associated with data
object &v2&. The validation shows that value &v1& is not part of the
associated list of values.
This is not an error. However, the system notifies you to make you aware
that the simulation is executed with input data that will probably not
occur during productive use.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You can start the simulation, but you should keep in mind that the input
data might not properly reflect real-world conditions. You may consider
synchronizing the two value lists by either extending the data object's
list of domain values or by removing value &v1& from the spreadsheet.
