• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK053 - BP role categ. title already exists; enter a different title ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK053 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a Business Partner (BP) role category title that already exists in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) for Business Partners when you are trying to create a new role or modify an existing one, and the title you are trying to use is already in use by another role.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the title you are trying to assign to a Business Partner role category is not unique. In SAP, each role category title must be unique to avoid confusion and ensure proper data management.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Titles: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction or application where you manage Business Partner roles (e.g., BP transaction).
  Look for the existing role categories and their titles to identify the one that is causing the conflict.
  
  
  
  Choose a Different Title:
  
  If you find that the title you want to use is already taken, you will need to come up with a different, unique title for the new role category.
  Ensure that the new title is descriptive enough to convey the purpose of the role.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Role (if applicable):
  
  If the existing role with the same title is no longer needed, consider modifying or deleting that role (if it is appropriate to do so) to free up the title.
  
  
  
  Validation:
  
  After making the changes, try to create or modify the Business Partner role again with the new title.
