• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_QMAT_API002 - The field &1 is not ready for input and was therefore not transferred ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_QMAT_API002 indicates that a specific field (denoted as &1) is not ready for input and therefore cannot be transferred during a Master Data Governance (MDG) process. This error typically occurs in the context of data modeling or data transfer processes in SAP MDG, particularly when dealing with material master data.
  Cause:
  
  Field Configuration: The field in question may be configured as "display only" or may not be set up to accept input in the current context. This can happen if the field is not part of the active data model or if it is not included in the relevant UI configuration.
  Field Status: The field might be set to a status that prevents it from being edited, such as being marked as "not editable" in the data model or UI.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the field, leading to it being treated as non-editable.
  Business Logic: There may be business rules or validations in place that restrict input to certain fields based on the current state of the data or the process being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Configuration: Review the configuration of the field in the data model and ensure that it is set to be editable in the relevant context. This can be done in the MDG customizing settings.
  Review UI Configuration: If the field is part of a UI, check the UI configuration to ensure that the field is included and set to allow input.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to edit the field. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Business Rules: Investigate any business rules or validations that may be affecting the field. This may involve checking the logic in the MDG process or any custom enhancements that have been implemented.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the field is being set to non-editable and why.
