- Edition is already released ?The SAP error message USMD_EDITION_GENERAL019 indicates that an edition in the SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) system has already been released. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform an action (like editing or re-releasing) on an edition that is already in a released state.
Cause:
The error is caused by trying to modify or release an edition that has already been finalized and marked as released. In SAP MDG, once an edition is released, it is considered complete, and further changes cannot be made to it unless it is reverted or a new edition is created.
Solution:

Check the Edition Status: Verify the status of the edition you are trying to modify. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or application in SAP MDG where you can view the editions.
Create a New Edition: If you need to make changes, you may need to create a new edition. This allows you to make the necessary modifications without affecting the already released edition.
Revert the Edition (if applicable): If your business process allows it, you may be able to revert the edition to a draft state. However, this is not always possible depending on your configuration and business rules.
Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to MDG editions to understand the workflow and restrictions regarding edition management.
