• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDC_GOV_BO_MSG005 - Address deleted ?

  The SAP error message MDC_GOV_BO_MSG005, which states "Address deleted," typically occurs in the context of managing business partner (BP) data in SAP systems, particularly when using the Master Data Governance (MDG) module. This error indicates that the address associated with a business partner has been marked as deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Address Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the address linked to the business partner has been deleted in the system. This could happen due to data maintenance activities or as part of a data cleansing process.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If there are issues with data synchronization between different systems (e.g., between MDG and the backend ERP system), it may lead to inconsistencies where the address appears deleted in one system but not in another.

  Restore Deleted Address: If the address was deleted unintentionally, you may need to restore it. This can often be done through the MDG interface or by using transaction codes that allow for data recovery.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check between the MDG and the backend systems to ensure that all data is synchronized and that there are no discrepancies.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the address data. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the appropriate permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of MDG you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
