• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_ID_MATCH_API_BS004 - Object types &1 and &2 belong to different main context IDs ?

  The SAP error message MDG_ID_MATCH_API_BS004 indicates that there is a mismatch between the main context IDs of two object types in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that involves two different types of master data that are not compatible due to their context IDs.
  Cause:
  
  Different Contexts: The error arises when you attempt to match or relate two objects (e.g., business partners, materials) that belong to different main contexts. Each object type in MDG is associated with a specific context, and operations involving these objects require them to share the same context.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the MDG setup where the object types are not correctly defined or linked to the appropriate contexts.
  Data Integrity Issues: The data being processed may have integrity issues, such as incorrect or missing context assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Types: Verify the object types you are working with and ensure they belong to the same main context. You can do this by checking the configuration in the MDG customizing settings.
  Review Context Assignments: Ensure that the object types are correctly assigned to their respective contexts. This can be done in the MDG configuration under the relevant data model.
  Data Validation: Validate the data being processed to ensure that it adheres to the expected structure and context assignments. Look for any discrepancies in the data that might lead to this error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for MDG to understand the context and object type relationships better. This can provide insights into how to configure or adjust your setup.
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the process to identify where the mismatch occurs and gather more information about the objects involved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  MDG Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the MDG configuration settings, especially those related to data models and object types.
