• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_CC001 - Change request &1 still exists; severing not allowed ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_CC001 indicates that a change request (CR) is still active or exists in the system, and therefore, the action you are trying to perform (such as severing a relationship or deleting an object) is not allowed. This is a common issue in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when dealing with change requests.
  Cause:
  
  Active Change Request: The primary cause of this error is that there is an active change request associated with the object you are trying to modify or delete. The system prevents severing or deleting objects that are linked to ongoing change requests to maintain data integrity.
  Pending Approvals: The change request may be pending approval or still in process, which means it cannot be severed until it is completed or rejected.
  Incorrect Status: The object may be in a status that does not allow for severing or deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Change Requests: 
  
  Use transaction code MDG_CRP or MDG_MAINT to check for any active change requests related to the object in question.
  Identify the change request number and its status.
  
  
  
  Complete or Reject the Change Request:
  
  If the change request is still in process, you may need to complete it or reject it, depending on your business process.
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can approve or reject the change request.
  
  
  
  Change Request Status:
  
  Ensure that the change request is in a status that allows for severing or deletion. If it is in a status that does not permit these actions, you will need to change its status accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed with the change request, consult with your team or the person responsible for managing change requests in your organization.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Check system logs for any additional information or related errors that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MDG_CRP (Change Request Processing) and MDG_MAINT (Master Data Maintenance).
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify change requests.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling change requests in MDG.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your intended actions in SAP MDG.
