  The SAP error message MDG_BS_ECC_CUSTOMER022 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the Customer-Vendor Integration (CVI) settings in your SAP system. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a customer master record for a Business Partner (BP) grouping that is not allowed by the current CVI customizing settings.
  Cause:

  Adjust Business Partner Grouping:
