• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_SF019 - Enter distance in KM or MI (BAdI) ?

  The SAP error message MDG_SF019, which states "Enter distance in KM or MI (BAdI)," typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when a user is trying to enter a distance value in a field that requires a specific format or unit of measurement. This error indicates that the system expects the distance to be provided in either kilometers (KM) or miles (MI), but the input does not meet these criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Input Format: The user may have entered a distance value that is not in the expected format (e.g., using a different unit of measurement or not specifying the unit).
  Missing Unit Specification: The distance may be entered without specifying whether it is in kilometers or miles.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the BAdI (Business Add-In) that handles the distance input, leading to validation errors.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input: Ensure that the distance is entered correctly, using either kilometers (KM) or miles (MI). For example, enter "10 KM" or "6 MI" as appropriate.
  Review Field Settings: Verify the field settings in the MDG configuration to ensure that the distance field is set up to accept the correct units and formats.
  BAdI Implementation: If you have access to the BAdI implementation, check the logic to ensure it correctly validates the input. You may need to adjust the implementation to handle different formats or provide clearer error messages.
  User Training: Provide training or documentation to users on how to correctly enter distance values in the system.
