• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD5059 - Change request type &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message USMD5059 indicates that a change request type specified in your operation does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to process a change request that references a type that has not been defined or is not available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Change Request Type: The change request type you are trying to use has not been created or is not active in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the change request type is not properly set up in the MDG system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified change request type.
  Transport Issues: If the change request type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Request Type:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration transaction in SAP (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the Master Data Governance settings.
  Verify that the change request type you are trying to use is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Create or Activate Change Request Type:

  Review Authorizations:
