• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDME_MDB308 - Fields from object &1 are still used in the individual screen ?

  The SAP error message SDME_MDB308 indicates that there are fields from a specific object (denoted as &1) that are still being used in the individual screen of a transaction or application, even though they may have been marked for deletion or are no longer relevant in the context of the current configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Field Deletion: The fields in question may have been marked for deletion in the data model or configuration, but the individual screen still references these fields.
  Screen Configuration: The screen layout or configuration may not have been updated to reflect the changes made to the data model, leading to inconsistencies.
  Custom Development: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the screen, they might still be referencing the old fields.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport might not have included all necessary updates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Update Screen Configuration: Review the screen configuration in the relevant transaction and remove any references to the fields that are no longer needed.
  Check Data Model: Ensure that the data model is correctly configured and that any fields marked for deletion are indeed removed from all relevant screens.
  Custom Code Review: If there are custom enhancements, review the code to ensure that it does not reference the deleted fields. Update or remove any such references.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that the target system is in sync with the source system.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the application functions as expected.
