• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_MAT_LOADER_MSG035 - Material & rejected as it is present in active area ?

  The SAP error message MDG_MAT_LOADER_MSG035 indicates that a material has been rejected because it is already present in an active area. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to load or create a material that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Material: The material you are trying to create or load already exists in the active area of the system. This means that the material number you are using is already assigned to a material in the database.
  Active Area: The term "active area" refers to the part of the system where materials are currently valid and can be used. If a material is already active, you cannot create a new entry with the same identifier.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Materials: Before attempting to load a new material, check the existing materials in the system to see if the material number you are trying to use is already in use. You can do this by using transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or using the Material Master reports.
  
  
  Use a Different Material Number: If the material already exists and you need to create a new one, consider using a different material number that is not currently in use.
  
  
  Update Existing Material: If the intention is to update the existing material, you should use the appropriate transaction or process to update the material instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  Check Active Area Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for the active area is set up correctly. Sometimes, the active area might be misconfigured, leading to unexpected behavior.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to MDG and material management for additional insights and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MDG Configuration: Understanding how MDG is configured in your organization can help in troubleshooting issues related to material loading.
  Material Master Data: Familiarize yourself with the Material Master Data structure and how it is managed within SAP.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs or application logs in SAP for more detailed information about the error and any related issues.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP MDG.
