  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK527 - Session &1: Transferred client &2 is different from the system client &3 ?

    The SAP error message VK527 indicates a mismatch between the client number of the session being processed and the client number of the system. This typically occurs in scenarios where data is being transferred between different clients or systems, and the client specified in the session does not match the client of the system where the session is being executed.

    Cause:

    1. Client Mismatch: The session is trying to process data for a client that is different from the client currently logged into the SAP system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the session or the data being processed may have been set up incorrectly, leading to the mismatch.
    3. Transport Issues: If data is being transported between different SAP systems or clients, the client information may not have been correctly aligned.

    Solution:

    1. Check Client Settings: Ensure that the client number specified in the session matches the client number of the SAP system you are logged into. You can check the client number in the SAP GUI at the top right corner of the screen.
    2. Adjust Session Parameters: If you are using a session that was created for a different client, you may need to create a new session for the correct client or adjust the parameters of the existing session.
    3. Review Transport Requests: If this error occurs during a transport process, verify that the transport request is correctly configured for the target client.
    4. Recreate the Session: If the session is corrupted or incorrectly configured, consider recreating it with the correct client information.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific configurations related to client handling and session management.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Clients: In SAP, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of tables. Each client can have different configurations, data, and users.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SCC4 (Client Administration) to manage client settings and configurations.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.
