• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_CHMNG_ACC003 - Parallel CR &1 uses change no &2 with different revision level &3 ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_CHMNG_ACC003 indicates that there is a conflict with change requests (CR) in the Material Master Data Governance (MDG) system. Specifically, it occurs when two parallel change requests are trying to use the same change number but with different revision levels. This can happen in scenarios where multiple users are working on the same material data simultaneously, leading to inconsistencies in the change request processing.
  Cause:
  
  Parallel Change Requests: Two or more change requests are being processed at the same time for the same material, but they reference different revision levels.
  Change Number Conflicts: The change number assigned to the change requests is the same, but the revision levels differ, which is not allowed in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Conflicting Change Requests:
  
  Check the change requests that are currently active for the material in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP MDG or using the change request overview.
  
  
  
  Review Revision Levels:
  
  Determine the revision levels associated with each change request. You may need to consult with the users who created the change requests to understand the context of the changes.
  
  
  
  Consolidate Changes:
  
  If possible, consolidate the changes into a single change request. This may involve merging the changes or deciding which change request should take precedence.
  
  
  
  Cancel or Reject One of the Change Requests:
  
  If the changes cannot be consolidated, consider canceling or rejecting one of the conflicting change requests. This will allow the other change request to proceed without conflict.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Change Request:
  
  After resolving the conflict, you can reprocess the change request that was blocked by the error. Ensure that the change number and revision level are consistent.
  
  
  
  Implement Locking Mechanisms:
  
  To prevent similar issues in the future, consider implementing locking mechanisms or workflows that restrict simultaneous changes to the same material data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP MDG, such as MDG_MAT, MDG_CR, or MDG_MAT_COCKPIT, to manage change requests effectively.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedures for creating and managing change requests to minimize conflicts.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the MDG_BS_MAT_CHMNG_ACC003 error and ensure smoother processing of change requests in your SAP MDG environment.
