• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_UI029 - Change request type was corrected to '&1' due to existing change request. ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_UI029 indicates that a change request type was automatically corrected to a different type (denoted as &1) because there was already an existing change request of the original type. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when multiple change requests are being processed for the same object, such as a material master record.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Change Request: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an active change request for the same material or object. SAP MDG does not allow multiple change requests of the same type to be processed simultaneously for the same object to maintain data integrity.
  Change Request Type Configuration: The system may have specific configurations that dictate how change requests are handled, including rules about which types can be created under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Change Requests: 
  
  Navigate to the change request management area in SAP MDG and check if there is an existing change request for the material you are trying to modify. You can do this by using transaction codes like MDG_MAT or MDG_BS_MAT.
  If there is an existing change request, you may need to complete or reject it before creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Review Change Request Types:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct change request type for your operation. If the system has automatically changed the type, verify if the new type is appropriate for your needs.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you have access to the configuration settings, review the change request type settings in the MDG configuration. This may involve checking the customizing settings for change request types and their relationships.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedures for creating and managing change requests in SAP MDG to avoid confusion and errors.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Check system logs for any additional information or related errors that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling change requests in MDG.
  Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for MDG, particularly sections related to change request management and material master data governance.
