  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCD1003 - &1 &2 is not defined in &3 ?

    The SAP error message UCD1003 typically indicates that a specific object (like a user-defined characteristic, key figure, or similar) is not defined in the context of a particular application or module. The placeholders &1, &2, and &3 in the error message represent specific details about the object that is missing or undefined.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Definition: The object referenced in the error message is not defined in the system. This could be due to a configuration issue or because the object was never created.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The object might be incorrectly configured or linked to the wrong application or module.
    3. Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
    4. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the perception that it is not defined.

    Solution:

    1. Check Object Definition: Verify that the object (characteristic, key figure, etc.) is defined in the relevant configuration settings. You can do this by navigating to the appropriate configuration transaction in SAP.
    2. Create or Modify Object: If the object is indeed missing, you may need to create it or modify the existing configuration to ensure it is defined correctly.
    3. Transport Check: If the object was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and activated properly.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
