• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY104 - Code Type &1: Error in foreign key between table and text table ?

  The SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY104 indicates that there is a foreign key relationship issue between a table and its corresponding text table. This typically occurs when the system expects a certain relationship between the data in the main table and the text table, but that relationship is not being met.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Entries: The text table may not have entries that correspond to the entries in the main table. For example, if the main table has a code that does not exist in the text table, this error will occur.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as incorrect or missing keys that are supposed to link the main table and the text table.
  Configuration Issues: The foreign key relationship may not be properly defined in the data dictionary, leading to this error when the system tries to enforce the relationship.
  Transport Issues: If the tables were transported from one system to another, there may be discrepancies in the data that were not resolved during the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Verify that all entries in the main table have corresponding entries in the text table. You can do this by running a query or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to inspect the tables.
  Update Text Table: If you find missing entries in the text table, you can add them manually or through a data upload process to ensure that all keys are present.
  Review Foreign Key Definitions: Check the foreign key relationships defined in the data dictionary (transaction SE11) to ensure they are correctly set up.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that all necessary objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing dependencies.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program or transaction that is generating the error to identify the exact point of failure.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to view and modify table definitions, and SE16 to view table contents.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to data dictionary objects and foreign key relationships for a deeper understanding of how these work within the SAP system.
