  The SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT147 indicates that there is an issue with the import of data related to a specific object or entity, where the import process is trying to access an object (denoted as &1) that does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs during data import processes, such as when using the Data Transfer Workbench or during the execution of specific data import programs.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent Object: The object you are trying to import (e.g., a material, vendor, customer, etc.) does not exist in the target system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the import process may be incorrect, leading to the system looking for an object that is not defined.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data being imported, such as missing references or dependencies.
  Transport Issues: If the data is being transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing objects.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object (e.g., material, vendor) that is being referenced in the error message actually exists in the target system. You can do this by using transaction codes like MM03 (for materials) or XK03 (for vendors).
  
  
  Check Import Data: Review the data file or the data being imported to ensure that all required objects are included and correctly referenced. Make sure that any dependencies are also present.
  
  
  Correct Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for the import process are correct. This may involve checking the settings in the Data Transfer Workbench or any custom import programs being used.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data being imported is consistent and adheres to the required formats and structures. You may need to clean or preprocess the data before attempting the import again.
  
  
  Transport Logs: If the data is being transported from another system, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate why the object is missing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific import process you are using, as there may be additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
