  The SAP error message FINS_CFIN_AC_CFG006 typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an issue with value mapping configuration. This error indicates that both the "Type" and "Global Data Type" fields must be filled in the value mapping configuration.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the value mapping configuration is incomplete. Specifically, it means that either the "Type" or "Global Data Type" fields are not populated, which is required for the system to correctly interpret and process the value mapping.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Value Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP where you can manage value mapping (e.g., transaction code MDGIMG or SPRO for configuration).
  
  
  
  Locate the Value Mapping:
  
  Navigate to the section where value mappings are defined. This is usually under the Master Data Governance settings.
  
  
  
  Check the Configuration:
  
  Look for the specific value mapping that is causing the error. Ensure that both the "Type" and "Global Data Type" fields are filled in correctly.
  The "Type" field typically refers to the specific type of data you are mapping (e.g., a specific master data type), while the "Global Data Type" refers to the broader category or standard data type.
  
  
  
  Fill in Missing Fields:
  
  If either field is empty, fill it in with the appropriate values. Make sure that the values you enter are valid and correspond to the expected data types.
  
  
  
  Save the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
