    The SAP error message /SCMB/TG_NACH121 No external product &1 exists for logical system &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when the system is unable to find a corresponding external product in the specified logical system. This can happen during various processes, such as data transfer, integration, or when trying to access product information.

    Cause:

    1. Missing External Product: The external product specified in the error message does not exist in the logical system indicated. This could be due to data not being transferred correctly or the product not being created in the external system.
    2. Incorrect Logical System Configuration: The logical system may not be set up correctly, or there may be a mismatch between the logical system and the external product.
    3. Data Synchronization Issues: There may be issues with data synchronization between the systems, leading to missing or outdated product information.
