• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_CUST_HARM030 - Account group &1 is already used in CVI Customizing ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_CUST_HARM030 indicates that the account group specified (represented by &1) is already in use in the Customer-Vendor Integration (CVI) Customizing settings. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or modify an account group that conflicts with existing configurations in the CVI.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Account Group: The account group you are trying to create or modify is already defined in the system and is being used in the CVI settings.
  CVI Configuration: The CVI settings may have been configured to link certain account groups to specific business partners, and the account group in question is already associated with a business partner.
  Data Consistency: The system enforces data consistency, and having multiple definitions for the same account group can lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Account Groups: Verify if the account group you are trying to use already exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Modify Existing Configuration: If the account group is already in use, consider modifying the existing configuration instead of creating a new one. This may involve changing the settings for the existing account group to meet your requirements.
  Use a Different Account Group: If the account group is indeed in use and cannot be modified, consider using a different account group that is not currently in use in the CVI Customizing.
  CVI Customizing: Review the CVI Customizing settings to understand how account groups are linked to business partners. You can access this through the transaction code BP (Business Partner) and navigate to the relevant settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on managing account groups and CVI settings.
  
  Related Information:
