• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FEH049 - Retry not possible because DDIC Type is missing ?

  The SAP error message FEH049: Retry not possible because DDIC Type is missing typically occurs in the context of the Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly when dealing with the handling of document types or data types in the system. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a request because it cannot find the necessary Data Dictionary (DDIC) type associated with the operation.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Data Dictionary Type: The primary cause of this error is that the required DDIC type for a specific operation or document type is not defined in the system. This could happen due to:
  
  Custom developments or modifications that did not properly define the DDIC types.
  Transport issues where the necessary objects were not transported correctly to the target system.
  Deletion or corruption of the DDIC type in the system.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Financial Accounting module that are not set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to find the required types.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DDIC Types: 
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the required DDIC type exists. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a transport request.
  If you are unsure which DDIC type is missing, you may need to consult the documentation or the development team to identify the expected types for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If there are custom developments involved, review the code to ensure that it is correctly referencing the DDIC types. Make sure that any custom types are properly defined and activated.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Go through the configuration settings in the Financial Accounting module to ensure that all necessary settings are in place. This may involve checking document types, posting keys, and other related configurations.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  
  
  System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SLG1 (Application Log) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community or forums where other users may have encountered similar issues and can provide insights or solutions.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the Financial Accounting module and Data Dictionary for a better understanding of how types are defined and used.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis or development team for further investigation and resolution.
