• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP061 - Classification not copied; entity CLASSASGN not in scope or not relevant ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP061 indicates that the classification data for a material is not being copied because the entity CLASSASGN (which refers to the classification assignment) is either not included in the scope of the data transfer or is not relevant for the current operation.
  Cause:
  
  
  Scope of Data Transfer: The classification assignment might not be included in the data model or the scope of the data transfer for the Master Data Governance (MDG) process you are executing. This can happen if the classification is not relevant for the specific material type or if the configuration does not include it.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the MDG system may not be set up to handle classification data for the material being processed. This could be due to missing settings in the data model or the process configuration.
  
  
  Material Type Settings: The material type being used may not be configured to support classification. Some material types may not require or allow classification data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Model Configuration: 
  
  Go to the MDG configuration and check the data model for the material. Ensure that the CLASSASGN entity is included in the data model and is marked as relevant for the material type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Review Process Configuration:
  
  Verify the process configuration for the material creation or change process. Ensure that the classification assignment is included in the relevant process steps.
  
  
  
  Material Type Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the material type in the material master data configuration. Ensure that the material type is set up to allow classification and that the necessary classification views are activated.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the process again to see if the error persists. You may need to create a new material or modify an existing one to validate the changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to MDG and classification to ensure that you are following best practices and that there are no additional steps required for your specific scenario.
