• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING013 - The code list provider for the proxy element &1 provides no values ?

  The SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING013 indicates that the code list provider for a specific proxy element does not provide any values. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an attempt to map values from a source system to a target system, and the expected values are not available in the code list.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Missing Code List Entries: The code list provider may not have any entries defined for the specific proxy element you are trying to use.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the code list provider may be incorrect, leading to the absence of values.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the code list is supposed to be populated from another system or source, there may be synchronization issues preventing the values from being fetched.
  Authorization Issues: The user or process may not have the necessary authorizations to access the code list values.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Code List Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP MDG and verify that the code list provider is correctly set up for the proxy element in question.
  Ensure that the code list is active and has the necessary entries.
  
  
  
  Populate Code List:
  
  If the code list is empty, you may need to populate it with the required values. This can be done through transaction codes like MDG_CLS or through the relevant customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Review Data Sources:
  
  If the code list is supposed to pull values from another system, check the data source configuration and ensure that the connection is working correctly.
  Verify that the data is being sent from the source system and that there are no issues with data transfer.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or process attempting to access the code list has the necessary authorizations to view and use the code list values.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the failure occurs. This may involve checking the logs or using transaction codes like SLG1 to view application logs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of MDG you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
