• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSI_ECC021 - Synchronization terminated as material &1 has not been synchronized ?

  The SAP error message MSI_ECC021 indicates that the synchronization process has been terminated because a specific material (identified by &1) has not been synchronized. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Synchronization, particularly when dealing with materials in the SAP ECC (Enterprise Central Component) system and SAP S/4HANA or other connected systems.
  Cause:
  
  Material Not Created: The material in question may not exist in the target system where synchronization is expected to occur.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the material data between the source and target systems.
  Synchronization Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for synchronization may not be correctly set up, leading to failures in the synchronization process.
  Network Issues: Temporary network issues or connectivity problems between the systems can also lead to synchronization failures.
  Authorization Issues: The user or process attempting the synchronization may not have the necessary authorizations to access or create the material in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Existence: Verify if the material exists in the target system. If it does not, you may need to create it manually or ensure that it is included in the synchronization process.
  Review Synchronization Logs: Check the synchronization logs for more detailed error messages or warnings that can provide insights into why the material was not synchronized.
  Validate Data: Ensure that the material data is consistent and complete in the source system. Look for any missing fields or incorrect data that could prevent synchronization.
  Configuration Review: Review the synchronization configuration settings in both the source and target systems to ensure they are correctly set up.
  Network Check: Ensure that there are no network issues affecting the connection between the systems. Test connectivity and resolve any issues found.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user or process has the necessary authorizations to perform the synchronization. Adjust roles and permissions as needed.
