• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING054 - Mapper was created as an outbound mapper ?

  The SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING054 indicates that a value mapping was created as an outbound mapper, which means that it is intended to be used for mapping values when data is being sent out of the system (outbound) rather than for incoming data (inbound). This can lead to issues if the system is expecting an inbound mapping but finds an outbound mapping instead.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when:
  
  A value mapping configuration is incorrectly set up for the intended use case.
  The system is trying to perform an operation that requires an inbound mapping, but the mapping defined is for outbound purposes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the value mapping configuration in the SAP MDG system.
  Verify if the mapping is set up correctly for the intended direction (inbound vs. outbound).
  
  
  
  Create or Modify the Mapping:
  
  If the mapping is indeed set as outbound and you need it for inbound processing, you will need to create a new mapping or modify the existing one to be suitable for inbound use.
  Ensure that the mapping is correctly defined for the data flow you are working with.
  
  
  
  Test the Mapping:
  
  After making changes, test the mapping to ensure that it works as expected for the inbound data processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on setting up value mappings in MDG.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or configurations that might be affecting the mapping behavior.
