• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD_XI_PROXY005 - No SMT source structure defined for entity type &1 in data model &2 ?

  The SAP error message USMD_XI_PROXY005 indicates that there is no source structure defined for a specific entity type in the data model you are working with in the SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This error typically arises during data replication or data transfer processes when the system cannot find the necessary mapping or structure to process the data for the specified entity.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The source structure for the specified entity type is not defined in the data model. This could be due to incomplete configuration during the setup of the data model.
  Incorrect Entity Type: The entity type specified in the error message may not be correctly defined or may not exist in the data model.
  Transport Issues: If the data model was recently transported from another system, the transport may not have included all necessary configurations.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the data model and the source system, leading to the absence of the expected structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Model Configuration:
  
  Go to the MDG data model configuration in the SAP system.
  Verify that the source structure for the specified entity type is defined correctly.
  Ensure that the entity type is correctly mapped to the source structure.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Source Structure:
  
  If the source structure is indeed missing, you will need to define it in the data model configuration.
  Use transaction code MDGIMG to access the configuration and add the necessary source structure.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be fixes or enhancements related to this issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for Master Data Governance to understand the requirements for defining source structures and entity types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data replication or transfer process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
