  The SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST098 No target client is provided for execution of after import method typically occurs during the execution of a data import process, particularly when using the SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) framework. This error indicates that the system is unable to determine the target client for executing the "after import" method, which is a part of the data import workflow.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Target Client Configuration: The target client for the import process has not been specified in the configuration settings.
  Incorrect Customization: The after import method may not be properly configured to identify the target client.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the import is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport layer that prevent the identification of the target client.
  System Settings: The system settings may not be correctly set up to handle the import process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP MDG system and ensure that the target client is specified for the import process.
  Verify the settings in the MDG customizing transaction (e.g., MDGIMG) to ensure that the target client is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Review After Import Method:
  
  Check the implementation of the after import method in the relevant data model. Ensure that it is correctly coded to handle the target client.
  If you have custom logic, ensure that it includes the necessary checks and parameters for the target client.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the import is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that all necessary objects are included.
  Check if the transport layer is correctly set up and that the target client is accessible.
  
  
  
  System Settings:
  
  Review the system settings related to client management and ensure that the system is configured to allow for the specified target client.
  Check for any authorization issues that may prevent the system from accessing the target client.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the import process to identify where the target client is not being set or recognized.
  Use transaction SE80 or SE37 to analyze the relevant function modules or methods involved in the import process.
