• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_GSS111 - Attribute &3 of type &4 is new in target for &1 with key &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_GSS111 typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) when there is a mismatch between the attributes of a business object in the source and target systems during a data transfer or synchronization process. This error indicates that an attribute that is present in the target system is new and does not exist in the source system.
  Cause:
  
  New Attribute in Target: The target system has a new attribute (field) that is not present in the source system. This can happen if the target system has been updated with new functionality or customizations that have not been applied to the source system.
  Data Synchronization Issues: During data synchronization or migration, the system detects that the source does not have the necessary data for the new attribute in the target.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of the target system that introduce new attributes without corresponding updates in the source system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Update Source System: If possible, update the source system to include the new attribute. This may involve adding the attribute to the relevant data model or customizing the source system to match the target.
  Modify Data Transfer Logic: If the new attribute is not required for the business process, you may need to adjust the data transfer logic to ignore this attribute during the synchronization process.
  Data Mapping: Ensure that the data mapping between the source and target systems is correctly configured to handle new attributes. This may involve updating transformation rules or mapping configurations.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or release notes for any changes related to the new attribute to understand its purpose and how it should be handled.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure how to proceed, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on handling new attributes in data synchronization.
  PLM Configuration: Review the configuration settings in both the source and target systems to ensure they are aligned.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the data transfer works as expected without errors.
  
  By addressing the root cause of the error and ensuring that both systems are aligned in terms of attributes, you can resolve the issue effectively.
