• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_UI100 - Using existing change request for material &1. Check existing data. ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_UI100 typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when you are trying to create or modify a material master record, and there is an existing change request that is already processing the same material. This error indicates that the system has detected an active change request for the material in question, which prevents you from creating a new change request for the same material.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Change Request: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an open change request for the material you are trying to modify. This could be due to another user working on the same material or a previous change request that has not yet been completed.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent multiple users from making conflicting changes to the same data simultaneously. If a change request is in process, the material is locked for further changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Change Requests: 
  
  Navigate to the change request management area in SAP MDG and check for any existing change requests related to the material number indicated in the error message (&1).
  You can use transaction codes like MDG_MAT or MDG_CHANGE_REQUEST to view the status of change requests.
  
  
  
  Complete or Reject Existing Change Requests: 
  
  If you find an existing change request that is still open, you can either complete it (if you have the necessary permissions) or reject it if it is no longer needed.
  Ensure that all necessary approvals are obtained before completing or rejecting a change request.
  
  
  
  Wait for Processing: 
  
  If the existing change request is being processed by another user, you may need to wait until they complete their changes before you can proceed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Team Members: 
  
  If you are unsure about the status of the existing change request, consult with your team members or the person responsible for the material master data to clarify the situation.
  
  
  
  System Administration: 
  
  If you believe this is an error and there should not be an active change request, consult your SAP system administrator to check for any inconsistencies or issues in the system.
