  The SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT117 indicates that there is an issue with the data being imported into the system, specifically that the value for a certain column in a specific row is not supported. This error typically occurs during data import processes, such as when using the Data Migration Workbench or other data import tools.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Data Value: The value being imported for the specified column does not meet the expected format or constraints defined in the SAP system. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect data type (e.g., trying to import a string into a numeric field).
  Values that exceed the allowed length or range.
  Values that do not conform to predefined lists or codes (e.g., using an invalid material type or status).
  
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The system may not have the necessary configuration or master data in place to accept the value being imported.
  
  
  Data Mapping Issues: There may be a mismatch between the source data and the target fields in SAP, leading to unsupported values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data: Review the data being imported, particularly the value in column &1 for row &2. Ensure that it adheres to the expected format and constraints. 
  
  
  Validate Against Master Data: Ensure that the value exists in the relevant master data tables. For example, if the column is for a material type, check that the material type exists in the system.
  
  
  Adjust Data Mapping: If you are using a data mapping tool, ensure that the mappings are correctly set up to match the source data with the target fields in SAP.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific data import process you are using. This may provide insights into the expected formats and constraints for the data.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check any error logs or detailed messages provided by the import tool for additional context on the error.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the import with a smaller set of data to isolate the issue and identify which specific values are causing the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the data import process you are using.
