• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK093 - Alternative purch. data with subrange &1 still exists in purch. org. &2 ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_CHECK093 indicates that there is an issue with alternative purchasing data for a specific subrange in a purchasing organization. This error typically arises in the context of Material Master data management, particularly when using SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) for supplier data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to delete or modify a supplier's purchasing data, but there are still existing alternative purchasing data records associated with that supplier in the specified purchasing organization. This means that the system is preventing the action because it would lead to inconsistencies in the data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Data: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., MM03 for Material Master) and check the purchasing data for the specified material and purchasing organization.
  Look for any alternative purchasing data entries that are still active.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Alternative Data:
  
  If you find alternative purchasing data that is no longer needed, you can delete it. Make sure to do this carefully, as it may affect procurement processes.
  If the data is still required, consider modifying it instead of deleting it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or modifying the data, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance) to ensure that the changes align with business processes.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like ME03 (Display Purchasing Info Record) or ME12 (Change Purchasing Info Record) to view and manage purchasing info records.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the alternative purchasing data that might be causing the error.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  After addressing the existing alternative purchasing data, re-attempt the action that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record), ME12 (Change Purchasing Info Record), and ME13 (Display Purchasing Info Record).
  Master Data Governance: Understand the role of MDG in managing supplier and material data, and how it integrates with other SAP modules.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on managing purchasing data and resolving related errors.
