• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT052 - There exists already a mapping entry for the evaluation setting &1. ?

  The SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT052 indicates that there is already a mapping entry for the evaluation setting specified in the error message. This typically occurs during the data import process in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when you are trying to create or update a mapping entry that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an attempt to import data that includes a mapping entry for an evaluation setting that has already been defined in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The data being imported contains duplicate entries for the same evaluation setting.
  There was a previous import that created the mapping entry, and the current import is trying to create it again without checking for existing entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Mappings:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction or application where the mapping entries are maintained (e.g., transaction MDG_MDG).
  Look for the evaluation setting mentioned in the error message and verify if the mapping entry already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify the Import Data:
  
  If the mapping entry already exists, you may need to modify your import data to either:
  
  Exclude the duplicate entry.
  Update the existing entry instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Evaluation Setting:
  
  Ensure that the evaluation setting you are trying to import is correct and intended. If you are trying to create a new mapping, make sure it does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Error Handling in Data Import:
  
  Implement error handling in your data import process to catch such issues before they cause a failure. This can include checks for existing entries before attempting to create new ones.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific data import process you are using. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling mapping entries.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
