  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_DATA_REP014 indicates that there is a conflict with customer IDs during a data replication process in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG). Specifically, it means that the customer ID you are trying to use (Customer ID &1) has been replaced by another customer ID (Customer ID &2) in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Replication Conflict: This error typically arises when there are duplicate customer IDs or when a customer ID has been merged or replaced in the system. This can happen due to data cleansing processes, mergers, or updates in the master data.
  Inconsistent Data: The source system may have inconsistent data, leading to the replication process attempting to use an outdated or incorrect customer ID.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Verify the customer IDs in both the source and target systems. Ensure that the customer ID you are trying to replicate is valid and exists in the target system.
  Update Master Data: If the customer ID has been replaced, update your records to use the new customer ID (Customer ID &2) instead of the old one (Customer ID &1).
  Data Replication Settings: Review the data replication settings in your MDG configuration. Ensure that the mappings and transformations for customer IDs are correctly set up.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data replication process to manage such conflicts more gracefully in the future.
