• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS103 - Object &1 needs object &2; the latter is different in source and target. ?

  The SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS103 indicates that there is a mismatch between objects in the source and target systems during a transport or system copy operation. Specifically, it means that an object (denoted as &1) requires another object (denoted as &2), but the versions or configurations of these objects differ between the source and target systems.
  Cause:
  
  Version Mismatch: The object in the target system is not the same version as the one in the source system. This can happen if the target system has been modified or updated independently of the source system.
  Missing Dependencies: The required object (&2) may not exist in the target system, or it may exist but in a different form or version.
  Transport Issues: If the transport request did not include all necessary objects or if there were errors during the transport process, this could lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Versions: Verify the versions of both objects in the source and target systems. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to compare the objects.
  Transport Missing Objects: If the required object (&2) is missing in the target system, you may need to create a new transport request that includes this object and its dependencies.
  Synchronize Systems: Ensure that both the source and target systems are synchronized. This may involve applying the same changes or transports to both systems to ensure they are in alignment.
  Manual Adjustment: If the objects are not transportable or if there are significant differences, you may need to manually adjust the object in the target system to match the source system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific objects involved to understand any special considerations or dependencies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE01 (Transport Organizer) to manage transport requests and check for any missing objects.
