• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NSDM_MM_MIG049 - &1: records with material &2 not migrated as no MARA found ?

  The SAP error message NSDM_MM_MIG049 indicates that during a migration process, records associated with a specific material (identified by &2) could not be migrated because there is no corresponding entry in the MARA table (which contains general material data). This typically occurs in the context of data migration activities, such as when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data migration tools.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Material Master Data: The primary cause of this error is that the material master data for the specified material number does not exist in the MARA table. This could happen if the material was never created or if it was deleted prior to the migration process.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data being migrated, such as references to materials that are not valid or do not exist in the source system.
  Incorrect Mapping: If the migration process involves mapping data from a legacy system to the new SAP system, incorrect mapping or transformation rules may lead to references to non-existent materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Existence: Verify if the material number specified in the error message exists in the MARA table. You can do this by executing a query in the SAP system or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser).
  Create Missing Materials: If the material does not exist, you may need to create it in the SAP system before running the migration again. Ensure that all necessary data for the material master is provided.
  Review Migration Data: Check the data being migrated to ensure that it is complete and accurate. Look for any discrepancies or missing entries in the source data that could lead to this error.
  Adjust Migration Mapping: If you are using a migration tool, review the mapping and transformation rules to ensure that they correctly reference existing materials.
  Consult Migration Logs: Review the migration logs for additional details about the error and any other related issues that may need to be addressed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  MARA Table: This table contains general data for materials in SAP. It is essential for the material master and is used in various processes across the system.
  Migration Cockpit: If you are using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, familiarize yourself with its functionalities and how to handle errors during the migration process.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions for this specific error message.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in your migration process to catch such issues early on.
  
  By addressing the root cause of the error and ensuring that all necessary material data is present and correctly mapped, you should be able to resolve the NSDM_MM_MIG049 error and successfully complete the migration process.
