• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMD203 - Check consistency using SID(&1), P(&2) and Q table (&3) ?

  The SAP error message RSDMD203 typically indicates a consistency issue in the data model of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the SID (Surrogate ID), the master data table (P table), and the text table (Q table) for a particular InfoObject.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The SID table, master data table, or text table may have inconsistent entries. This can happen due to data loading issues, manual changes, or corruption in the data model.
  Missing Entries: There may be entries in the SID table that do not have corresponding entries in the master data or text tables.
  Data Deletion: If data was deleted from the master data or text tables without properly updating the SID table, this can lead to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies if the transport did not include all necessary data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Consistency: Use the transaction code RSD1 to check the consistency of the InfoObject. You can also use the transaction RSDMD to check the master data.
  Repair Inconsistencies: 
  
  Use the transaction RSD1 to perform a consistency check and repair any inconsistencies found.
