• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK020 - Enter a relevant role for the creation of supplier master data ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK020 indicates that a relevant role has not been assigned for the creation of supplier master data in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to create or manage supplier master data without having the necessary authorizations or roles assigned to their user profile.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Role Assignment: The user does not have the required role that allows them to create or edit supplier master data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may have a role assigned, but it does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific actions they are trying to perform.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the MDG setup that prevents the system from recognizing the user's role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to the user management area in SAP (transaction code SU01).
  Enter the user ID and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate role for supplier master data creation (e.g., roles related to MDG for suppliers).
  
  
  
  Assign Relevant Role:
  
  If the user does not have the necessary role, assign the appropriate role that includes the required authorizations for supplier master data management.
  Roles may include specific MDG roles such as MDG_SUPPLIER_ADMIN, MDG_SUPPLIER_CREATE, or similar, depending on your organization's role naming conventions.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  If the role is assigned but the error persists, review the authorization objects associated with the role to ensure they include the necessary permissions for supplier master data creation.
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze authorization failures after attempting the action.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which roles are required, consult with your SAP security or basis team to identify the correct roles and authorizations needed for supplier master data creation.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure the changes take effect.
  Test the supplier master data creation process again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
