• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LCM_LCA089 - Tech Field name is maintained for &1, hence cardinlity should be blank ?

  The SAP error message LCM_LCA089 indicates that there is an issue with the cardinality setting for a particular field in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) or similar applications. The message states that the technical field name is maintained for the specified object (represented by &1), and therefore, the cardinality should be left blank.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration of the data model or the data governance settings. Specifically, it occurs when:
  
  A technical field is defined for an object, but the cardinality (which defines how many instances of a field can exist) is incorrectly set or not set to blank as required.
  The system expects that if a technical field is maintained, the cardinality should not be defined, leading to this error message.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP where the data model or the field definitions are maintained.
  Identify the object associated with the error message (the object represented by &1).
  
  
  
  Review the Field Settings:
  
  Look for the technical field name that is maintained for the object.
  Ensure that the cardinality setting for this field is set to blank. If it is not, change it to blank.
  
  
  
  Adjust Cardinality:
  
  If cardinality is set to a specific value (like 1, 0..1, etc.), change it to blank to comply with the requirement that it should be blank when a technical field is maintained.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration and activate it if required.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Perform a test to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the system behaves as expected.
