This error typically arises in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an issue with the configuration or execution of the key mapping extractor.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The key mapping extractor may not be properly configured to recognize the receiver system. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the MDG configuration.
  Receiver System Not Defined: The receiver system may not be defined in the system landscape or may not be properly linked to the MDG system.
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that the extractor is trying to process, leading to the inability to map keys correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the extractor may not have the necessary authorizations to access the receiver system or the relevant data.
