• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD6059 - Transfer structure must contain the language key field (LANGU) ?

  The SAP error message USMD6059 indicates that a transfer structure used in a data transfer process does not include the required language key field (LANGU). This error typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) or when working with data transfer structures in SAP.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the transfer structure defined for the data transfer does not include the field LANGU, which is necessary for handling language-dependent data. In SAP, many master data objects are language-dependent, and the LANGU field is used to specify the language in which the data is stored.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the transfer structure includes the LANGU field. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Transfer Structure: Determine which transfer structure is causing the error. This can usually be found in the error message details or by checking the configuration of the data transfer process.
  
  
  Modify the Transfer Structure:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the name of the transfer structure and click on "Display".
  If you have the necessary authorizations, switch to "Change" mode.
  Add the LANGU field to the structure. Ensure that it is defined correctly (typically as a CHAR field with a length of 1 or 2, depending on your system's configuration).
  
  
  
  Activate the Structure: After making changes, activate the transfer structure to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Data Transfer: After modifying the structure, re-run the data transfer process to check if the error has been resolved.
