• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG658 - Error while initializing object; object identifier is different ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG658 typically indicates an issue related to the initialization of an object in the SAP system, where the object identifier being used is different from what is expected. This can occur in various contexts, such as during data transfer, object creation, or when working with specific SAP modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Identifier Mismatch: The error usually arises when there is a mismatch between the object identifier in the system and the one being referenced. This can happen if:
  
  The object has been modified or deleted.
  There is a version mismatch between the source and target systems.
  The object is being accessed in a different context than it was created.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the object has not been properly initialized, this error can occur.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, lack of proper authorizations can lead to this error, as the system may not be able to access the required object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Identifier: Verify that the object identifier you are using is correct and exists in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction or table.
  
  
  Reinitialize the Object: If the object has been modified or deleted, you may need to reinitialize it. This can involve creating a new object or restoring the previous one.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the data to ensure that all related objects and identifiers are correctly set up.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and manipulate the object in question. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  
  
  Check for System Updates: If the error is occurring after a system update or migration, ensure that all objects have been properly migrated and that there are no version mismatches.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
