• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLEI_DEF_MSG034 - Design linkage with linkage ID '&1' does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SLEI_DEF_MSG034 indicates that there is an issue with a design linkage in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that the design linkage with the specified linkage ID does not exist. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Logistics Execution (LE) or related modules where design linkages are used for various processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Linkage ID: The linkage ID specified in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration issue or because the linkage was never created.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in the relevant tables that manage design linkages.
  Transport Issues: If the linkage was created in a different environment (e.g., development) and not transported correctly to the current environment (e.g., production), it may not exist.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the linkage, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Linkage ID: Verify that the linkage ID you are using is correct. Ensure that it is spelled correctly and corresponds to an existing linkage in the system.
  Create Linkage: If the linkage ID does not exist, you may need to create it. This can typically be done through the relevant configuration transaction in SAP (e.g., customizing settings).
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the relevant tables to ensure that all necessary entries are present. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for this.
  Transport Check: If the linkage was supposed to be transported from another environment, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully transported.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the linkage. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
