• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG130 - Inconsistent annotation for client handling ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG130 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the annotations related to client handling in your SAP system. This error typically arises when there are discrepancies in the way client handling is defined in the system's data model or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Annotations: The error usually occurs when there are conflicting or inconsistent annotations in the data model regarding how client handling should be managed. This can happen if different parts of the model specify different client handling strategies (e.g., whether a certain entity should be client-specific or client-independent).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: If the configuration settings for client handling are not aligned across different components or if there are missing configurations, this can lead to the error.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the annotations were not properly aligned, this could also trigger the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Annotations: Check the annotations in your data model for the affected entities. Ensure that all annotations related to client handling are consistent. Look for discrepancies in the definitions of client-specific and client-independent entities.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If there are configuration settings that dictate client handling, ensure that they are correctly set up and consistent across the system.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport requests to ensure that all necessary changes were included and that there are no missing or conflicting annotations.
  
  
  Use SAP Tools: Utilize SAP tools such as the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to analyze the data model and identify where the inconsistencies lie.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to client handling and the specific data model you are working with. This can provide insights into best practices and common pitfalls.
