  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_040035 - Reference structure & does not exist as a target structure. ?

    The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_040035 indicates that there is a reference to a structure that does not exist as a target structure in the context of the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW). This typically occurs when you are trying to migrate data using LSMW and the target structure you are referencing is not defined or is incorrectly specified.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Target Structure: The target structure you are trying to use in your LSMW project does not exist in the system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the LSMW project may be incorrect, leading to a reference to a non-existent structure.
    3. Transport Issues: If the target structure was recently created or modified, it may not have been transported correctly to the system you are working in.
    4. Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the target structure can also lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Target Structure: Verify that the target structure you are referencing exists in the system. You can do this by checking the Data Dictionary (SE11) for the structure.
    2. Correct Configuration: Ensure that the LSMW project is correctly configured. Check the mapping and ensure that the target structure is correctly specified.
    3. Transport Check: If the structure was recently created or modified, ensure that it has been transported to the system you are working in. You may need to check with your Basis team.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the target structure. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
    5. Recreate the Structure: If the structure is missing and should exist, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a transport request.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the existence of the structure and SE80 (Object Navigator) for more details on the LSMW project.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on LSMW for detailed steps on how to configure and troubleshoot LSMW projects.
