• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LCM_LCA125 - Choose a Cardinality value ?

  The SAP error message LCM_LCA125 with the description "Choose a Cardinality value" typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) or SAP Business Suite applications when working with data modeling or configuration settings.

  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Cardinality Definition: When defining relationships between entities (e.g., in data modeling), the cardinality (e.g., one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many) must be specified. If this is left blank or not defined, the system will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings of the data model or the specific application where the cardinality is required.
  User Input Error: The user may have overlooked selecting a cardinality value in a dropdown or selection field.
  
  Solution:
