  • What causes this issue?

    Matchcode IDs of update type S (matchcode data update synchronous to
    database changes, implementation as a separate table in addition to the
    master tables) should contain all the key fields of the base tables,
    i.e. the primary and secondary tables of the corresponding matchcode
    object. Otherwise duplicate records could occur
    in the matchcode when changes are made to the database.

    System Response

    This is a warning. The system continues.

    How to fix this error?

    If the key fields contained in the matchcode ID still uniquely identify
    each data record, no action is necessary. If this is not the
    case, you should include the missing key fields in the matchcode ID in
    order to avoid duplicate records.
