• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCMI_CP_WL_MSG004 - View &1 is not present in the System ?

  The SAP error message SCMI_CP_WL_MSG004, which states "View &1 is not present in the System," typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is unable to find a specific view that is expected to be present.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing View: The specified view (indicated by &1) does not exist in the database. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as:
  
  The view was never created.
  The view was deleted or not properly activated.
  There is a configuration issue or inconsistency in the system.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the view was recently transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), the transport might not have included the view or it may have failed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the view, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the SCM or APO settings that is preventing the view from being recognized.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Existence: Verify if the view actually exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the view is defined.
  Checking the relevant customizing settings in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Activate the View: If the view is missing, you may need to recreate it or activate it if it exists but is not active.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the view was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the view was included.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the view. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  System Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SCM or APO system to ensure that everything is set up correctly. This may involve checking settings related to planning areas, data views, or other relevant configurations.
