• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMR140 - '&1' does not exist ?

  The SAP error message UMR140 '&1' does not exist typically indicates that the system is unable to find a specific object, such as a user, role, or authorization object, that is referenced in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. The placeholder '&1' will be replaced with the name of the object that is missing.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Object: The object (user, role, or authorization) you are trying to access or reference does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the system is looking for an object that has not been properly set up.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the system not recognizing it.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the object you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SU01 (for users), PFCG (for roles), or SUIM (for authorization checks).
  
  
  Correct Configuration: If the object is supposed to exist, check the configuration settings to ensure that everything is set up correctly. This may involve checking the relevant customizing settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the object was included in the transport request.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures.
  
  
  Recreate the Object: If the object is indeed missing and should exist, you may need to recreate it. For example, if it’s a user, you can create it using transaction SU01.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific object or its purpose, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP Basis or security team for assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
