• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT124 - Object data import for evaluation setting &1 already exists. ?

  The SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT124 indicates that there is an attempt to import object data for an evaluation setting that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) or when working with data imports related to material master data, where the system is trying to create or update an entry that is already present.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the evaluation setting (identified by the key &1) already exists in the system. The import process is trying to create a new entry with the same key, which violates the uniqueness constraint.
  Incorrect Data Preparation: The data being imported may not have been properly prepared, leading to duplicates being included in the import file.
  Concurrent Processes: Another process may have created the same evaluation setting while the import was being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Data: Before importing, check the existing evaluation settings in the system to confirm whether the entry already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using a report to list existing evaluation settings.
  Modify Import Data: If duplicates are found, modify the import data to either remove the duplicate entries or update them instead of trying to create new ones.
  Use Update Instead of Create: If the intention is to update existing records, ensure that the import process is set to update rather than create new entries.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your import process to catch such errors and log them for review, allowing for corrective actions to be taken.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific import process you are using to ensure compliance with the expected data format and constraints.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP version, you may use transaction codes like MDGIMG, MM01, or MM02 to manage material master data and evaluation settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on data import processes.
  Data Governance: If you are using SAP Master Data Governance, ensure that your data governance processes are correctly configured to prevent duplicate entries.
