• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2090 - Change request type &1: 'Optional' is set for entity type &2 ?

  The SAP error message USMD2090 typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an issue with the configuration of change request types and their associated entity types. The error message indicates that the change request type specified is set to 'Optional' for a particular entity type, which can lead to inconsistencies or issues in the data governance process.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A change request type is configured as 'Optional' for a specific entity type, but the system expects it to be 'Mandatory' or 'Not Allowed' based on the current configuration or business rules.
  There may be a mismatch between the expected behavior of the change request type and the actual configuration in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the USMD2090 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Change Request Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the change request types in SAP MDG.
  Verify the settings for the change request type in question and ensure that it is correctly configured for the entity type involved.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Entity Type Settings:
  
  If the entity type should indeed allow the change request type to be 'Optional', ensure that the business rules and processes are aligned with this configuration.
  If it should be 'Mandatory', change the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Business Rules:
  
  Check any business rules or validation rules that may be enforcing stricter requirements on the change request type for the entity type.
  Adjust these rules if necessary to align with the intended configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration by creating a new change request to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
