• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING057 - Source field for target field &1 is missing ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING057 indicates that there is a missing source field for a target field in the context of customizing conditions in SAP. This typically occurs in the context of condition records, where the system expects a mapping between source fields and target fields, but cannot find the necessary source field for the specified target field.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The source field that is supposed to provide data for the target field is not defined in the customizing settings.
  Incorrect Field Mapping: There may be an issue with the mapping configuration where the source field is incorrectly specified or not specified at all.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another, there might have been an issue during the transport that caused the source field to be omitted.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or updates to the SAP system might have led to the removal or renaming of the source field.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Customizing Settings: Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and verify the settings for the condition records. Ensure that the source field is correctly defined for the target field in question.
  Field Mapping: Review the field mapping configuration to ensure that all necessary source fields are correctly mapped to their corresponding target fields.
  Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to see if there were any errors or warnings related to the configuration.
  Data Model Review: If there have been recent changes to the data model, review those changes to ensure that they have not affected the required fields.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or functionality you are working with to see if there are any known issues or additional configuration steps required.
