• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP049 - Material &1 already contained in object list ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP049 indicates that the material you are trying to process is already included in the object list. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when you are trying to create or change a material master record, and the system detects that the material is already present in the list of objects being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The material number you are trying to add or modify is already present in the object list for the current transaction.
  Previous Processing: The material may have been previously processed in the same session or transaction, leading to its inclusion in the object list.
  Data Replication: If you are working with data replication, the material might have been replicated or created in the system already.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object List: Review the object list to confirm if the material is indeed present. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or screen where the object list is displayed.
  Remove Duplicate: If the material is already in the list and you do not need to process it again, you can remove it from the object list.
  Use Different Material Number: If you intended to create a new material, ensure that you are using a unique material number that does not already exist in the system.
  Review Change Requests: If you are working with change requests, ensure that the request is not already in process or completed for the same material.
  Check for Errors in Previous Steps: If you are following a workflow, check for any errors in previous steps that might have caused the material to be added to the list unexpectedly.
