• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMD401 - &1&2 deleted in table &3 (with master data attributes only in version) ?

  The SAP error message RSDMD401 indicates that a master data object has been deleted in the specified table, and it typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments. This error message is often related to issues with master data attributes, particularly when dealing with versions of master data.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Master Data: The error occurs when a master data object (like a characteristic or attribute) has been deleted from the master data table. This can happen due to data management processes, data cleansing, or manual deletions.
  Versioning Issues: The error may also arise if there are inconsistencies in the versioning of master data. For example, if the system is trying to access a version of master data that no longer exists or has been marked for deletion.
  Data Load Issues: If there are issues during data loading processes (like InfoPackage or DTP), it may lead to inconsistencies in the master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Master Data: Verify the master data in the relevant tables to ensure that the data you are trying to access or manipulate still exists. You can use transaction codes like RSD1 to check the InfoObject and its attributes.
  Recreate Deleted Data: If the master data has been deleted unintentionally, you may need to recreate it. This can be done by reloading the data from the source system or manually entering the data if necessary.
  Check Versioning: Ensure that the version of the master data you are trying to access is valid and exists in the system. You may need to adjust the version settings or check the version management settings in the InfoObject.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on your master data to identify any discrepancies. You can use transaction RSD1 to check for inconsistencies and correct them.
  Review Data Load Processes: If the error is occurring during data loading, review the data load processes (like DTPs or InfoPackages) to ensure they are configured correctly and that there are no errors in the data flow.
