• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEREP_00066 - SyncBO control record for &1 not found ?

  The SAP error message MEREP_00066 indicates that the system is unable to find a synchronization business object (SyncBO) control record for a specified object. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) or when working with data replication scenarios.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Missing Control Record: The SyncBO control record for the specified object (&1) does not exist in the system. This could happen if the configuration for the business object was not completed or if the object was deleted.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the synchronization process may not be set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to locate the required control record.
  
  
  Data Replication Issues: If there are issues with the data replication setup, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables, this error may occur.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the relevant configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include the necessary SyncBO control records, this error may arise.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Control Record Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 to check the relevant database tables (e.g., MEREP_CONTROL) to see if the control record for the specified object exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or ensure that it is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (e.g., using transaction SPRO) and verify that the SyncBO for the object is correctly defined.
  Ensure that all necessary settings for the synchronization process are in place.
  
  
  
  Recreate Control Record:
  
  If the control record is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can often be done through the MDG configuration or by using specific transaction codes related to the business object.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the missing objects or manually create the control records in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific business object and synchronization process for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
