  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_BOLUI040 typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an attempt to copy or transfer data between different purchasing organizations that are not allowed to share that data. This is often related to the configuration of the purchasing organizations and the data governance rules set up in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Governance Rules: The error is triggered when the system detects that the data being copied or transferred is associated with different purchasing organizations that have restrictions on sharing or copying data.
  Configuration Issues: The purchasing organizations may have been configured in such a way that they do not allow the transfer of certain data types (like supplier data) between them.
  Master Data Settings: The settings in the MDG system may not permit the copying of supplier data across different purchasing organizations due to compliance or business rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the purchasing organizations in the MDG system. Ensure that the settings allow for the necessary data transfer or copying.
  Data Governance Policies: Verify the data governance policies in place. If the policies are too restrictive, consider adjusting them to allow for the necessary data sharing between the purchasing organizations.
  Use Correct Purchasing Organization: Ensure that you are using the correct purchasing organization when attempting to copy or transfer data. If the data is specific to a purchasing organization, it should remain within that organization.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling supplier data and purchasing organization configurations.
  Error Handling: If the error persists, consider implementing error handling procedures to manage such cases, including logging the errors for further analysis.
