• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS101 - Object &1 needs object &2; the latter does not exist in the target system ?

  The SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS101 indicates that there is a dependency issue between objects in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the object identified as &1 requires another object identified as &2, but the latter does not exist in the target system where the operation is being performed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Dependencies: The primary cause of this error is that the object you are trying to work with (object &1) has a dependency on another object (object &2), which has not been transported or created in the target system.
  Transport Issues: If you are moving objects between systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production), it is possible that the transport request containing the dependent object was not included or was not successfully imported.
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, configuration settings or custom developments may lead to missing dependencies if they are not properly documented or transported.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Dependencies: Identify the dependencies of the object &1. You can do this by checking the object’s properties or documentation to see what other objects it relies on.
  Transport Missing Objects: If object &2 is indeed missing, you will need to transport it from the source system where it exists to the target system. Ensure that the transport request containing &2 is released and imported into the target system.
  Create the Missing Object: If the object &2 is not available in any system, you may need to create it manually in the target system, ensuring that it meets the requirements of the object &1.
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs to see if there were any errors during the transport process that might have prevented the object from being imported.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the dependencies, consult the documentation or reach out to the development team for clarification on the required objects.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE03 (Transport Organizer) to analyze and manage objects and their dependencies.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific objects you are working with.
  System Configuration: Ensure that your system configuration is consistent across environments to minimize dependency issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that all necessary objects are present in the target system.
