• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK091 - Description in language &1 for subrange &2 already exists ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK091 typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an attempt to create or modify a supplier (or vendor) record, and the system detects that a subrange already exists for the specified range. This can happen when the data being entered overlaps with existing data in the system.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that there is a conflict with the subrange you are trying to create or modify. Specifically, it means that the subrange you are attempting to define already exists in the system for the specified range. This can occur due to:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The subrange you are trying to create is already defined in the system.
  Data Overlap: The new subrange overlaps with an existing subrange, which violates the uniqueness constraint.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the data being entered, leading to an unintended overlap.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Subranges: Review the existing subranges in the system to identify if the subrange you are trying to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate reports in SAP.
  
  
  Modify the New Entry: If the subrange already exists, consider modifying the new entry to ensure it does not overlap with existing subranges. This may involve changing the range or adjusting the values.
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Existing Subranges: If the existing subrange is no longer needed or is incorrect, you may consider deleting or adjusting it. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other data or processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or guidelines for managing supplier subranges to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Data Model: Understand the data model for suppliers in your SAP system, including how subranges are defined and managed.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify supplier records in the system.
