• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TRANSLATION071 - Refrece object is not same with imported xml file's objet &1 ( type &2 ). ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSLATION071 indicates that there is a mismatch between the reference object in the SAP system and the object defined in the imported XML file. This typically occurs during the import of translation files or when working with the SAP Translation Hub.
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Mismatch: The object type or name in the XML file does not match the corresponding object in the SAP system. This could be due to:
  
  The object being renamed or deleted in the SAP system after the XML file was created.
  The XML file being generated for a different version of the object or a different object altogether.
  Incorrect configuration or settings in the translation tool.
  
  
  
  Incorrect XML Structure: The XML file may not be structured correctly or may contain errors that prevent it from being processed properly.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: The object in the SAP system may have been updated or changed, leading to a version mismatch with the XML file.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Object Names and Types: Check the object name and type in the SAP system against those in the XML file. Ensure they match exactly.
  
  
  Regenerate XML File: If the XML file is outdated or incorrect, regenerate it from the SAP system to ensure it reflects the current state of the objects.
  
  
  Check for Deletions or Renames: Investigate if the object has been deleted or renamed in the SAP system. If so, update the XML file accordingly.
  
  
  Review XML Structure: Ensure that the XML file adheres to the expected structure and format required by SAP. Validate the XML against any provided schemas if available.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the translation process for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps.
