• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CONV_XML375 - If 'Other identification' is used 'Identification' must be present ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CONV_XML375 typically occurs in the context of data conversion or XML processing within SAP systems. This specific error indicates that when the "Other identification" field is used, the "Identification" field must also be present. This is a validation error that ensures that the necessary identification data is provided for the processing to continue.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Required Fields: The error arises when the system expects both "Identification" and "Other identification" fields to be populated, but only "Other identification" is provided without the corresponding "Identification".
  Data Mapping Issues: There may be issues in the data mapping or transformation logic where the required fields are not being populated correctly.
  Incorrect XML Structure: If the data is being processed from an XML file, the structure of the XML may not conform to the expected schema, leading to missing fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Input: Ensure that both the "Identification" and "Other identification" fields are populated in the data being processed. If "Other identification" is being used, make sure that "Identification" is also included.
  Review XML Structure: If the data is coming from an XML file, validate the XML structure against the expected schema to ensure that all required fields are present.
  Modify Data Mapping Logic: If you are using a custom program or transformation logic, review the code to ensure that it correctly populates both fields when necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or the specific module documentation for any additional requirements or constraints related to these fields.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the data processing again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context of the error, you may want to look into transaction codes related to data conversion or XML processing (e.g., SE80, SE37 for function modules).
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, consider debugging the process to identify where the data is being lost or not populated correctly.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or consult with a technical expert familiar with the specific SAP module you are working with.
