• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING069 - API: mapping not possible; no default mapper found ?

  The SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING069 indicates that the system is unable to perform a value mapping operation because it cannot find a default mapper for the specified mapping type. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to map values between different systems or data sources.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Mapping Configuration: The most common cause is that the required mapping configuration is not set up in the system. This could mean that the mapping type you are trying to use does not have a corresponding default mapper defined.
  Incorrect Mapping Type: The mapping type specified in the API call may not be valid or may not have been implemented in the system.
  Custom Implementations: If there are custom implementations or enhancements, they may not be correctly configured or may be missing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP MDG and verify that the mapping type you are trying to use is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the default mapper for the specified mapping type is available and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Define a Default Mapper:
  
  If a default mapper does not exist, you may need to create one. This can typically be done in the SAP MDG configuration settings.
  Use transaction code MDGIMG to access the configuration and navigate to the relevant sections for value mapping.
  
  
  
  Review API Call:
  
  Ensure that the API call you are making is correct and that you are using the right parameters, including the correct mapping type.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom implementations or enhancements related to value mapping, review them to ensure they are functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for MDG and value mapping to understand the requirements and configurations needed for the specific mapping type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
