  The SAP error message MDG_BS_ECC_SUPP008 indicates that there is an issue related to the Data Replication Framework (DRF) configuration for supplier data in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. Specifically, the error suggests that the DRF Customizing is set to use harmonized keys for suppliers in the specified client system.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Harmonized Key Configuration: The system is configured to use harmonized keys for suppliers, but the necessary settings or mappings are not correctly defined or are missing.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the MDG system and the connected ECC system, particularly regarding the supplier keys.

  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the supplier data in both the MDG and ECC systems. Ensure that the supplier records are consistent and that there are no discrepancies in the keys.
