• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS106 - Object &1 needs object &2; the latter does not exist. ?

  The SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS106 Object &1 needs object &2; the latter does not exist typically indicates that there is a dependency issue between two objects in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the first object (denoted as &1) requires the second object (denoted as &2) to function properly, but the second object is missing or does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Dependencies: The most common cause of this error is that the required object (object &2) has not been created or has been deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the objects are part of a transport request, it is possible that the transport containing the required object has not been imported into the target system.
  Configuration Errors: There may be configuration errors where the system is expecting an object that has not been properly set up.
  Development Errors: In custom developments, a developer may have referenced an object that was not created or was incorrectly named.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object &2 exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., SE80 for repository objects, SE11 for database tables, etc.).
  Create the Missing Object: If the object &2 does not exist, you may need to create it. This could involve creating a new object or restoring it from a backup if it was deleted.
  Import Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport has been imported into the system. Check the transport logs for any errors during the import process.
  Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies of object &1 to understand what other objects it relies on. This can help identify if there are other missing objects.
  Consult Documentation: If the objects are part of a standard SAP application or module, consult the relevant SAP documentation or notes for guidance on the required objects and their configurations.
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is impacting production systems.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE37 (Function Modules), and SE24 (Class Builder) to investigate the objects.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the specific error message or the objects involved. SAP Notes often provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  System Logs: Check system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
