• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPXN058 - Attribute &1 of repr.term &2 must refer a global repr.term type ?

  The SAP error message SPXN058 indicates that there is an issue with the attribute of a representation term in the context of SAP's classification system or similar functionality. Specifically, the error states that the attribute you are trying to use must refer to a global representation term type, but it currently does not.
  Cause:
  
  Local vs. Global Representation Term: The attribute you are trying to assign or reference is likely defined as a local representation term rather than a global one. In SAP, global representation terms are accessible across different contexts, while local ones are restricted to specific areas or contexts.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the classification system or the way representation terms are set up in your SAP environment.
  Data Integrity Issues: The data being referenced may have been altered or deleted, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Representation Term Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for representation terms in your SAP system.
  Ensure that the representation term you are trying to use is defined as a global representation term.
  
  
  
  Modify the Attribute:
  
  If the attribute is currently linked to a local representation term, consider changing it to link to a global representation term instead.
  
  
  
  Review Data:
  
  Check the data integrity of the representation terms and attributes involved. Ensure that all necessary terms are correctly defined and available.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure representation terms and attributes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
