    SAP Error Message:

    VO703 - Info Structure &: Entry missing in table TMC4


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to access or update an Info Structure (InfoCube) in SAP Logistics (especially in Sales and Distribution or Logistics Information System - LIS), but the corresponding entry for the Info Structure is missing in the customizing table TMC4.

    • TMC4 is a customizing table that stores metadata about Info Structures, such as their definitions and attributes.
    • When the system processes data for a particular Info Structure, it looks up TMC4 to find the configuration.
    • If the entry is missing, the system cannot proceed, resulting in the VO703 error.

    Common causes:

    • The Info Structure has not been created or activated properly.
    • The Info Structure was deleted or corrupted.
    • Transport issues where the customizing for the Info Structure was not imported.
    • Custom or standard Info Structure is referenced but not maintained in TMC4.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check if the Info Structure exists:

      • Go to transaction MC41 (Create Info Structure) or MC42 (Change Info Structure).
      • Enter the Info Structure name (the one mentioned in the error message).
      • If it does not exist, create it or restore it from a backup or transport.
    2. Activate the Info Structure:

      • If the Info Structure exists but is inactive, activate it in MC41/MC42.
      • Activation will create the necessary entries in TMC4.
    3. Check Table TMC4:

      • Use SE16/SE16N to check if the Info Structure entry exists in TMC4.
      • If missing, activating the Info Structure should recreate it.
    4. Transport Issues:

      • If the Info Structure was transported from another system, verify that the customizing transport was imported correctly.
      • Re-import the transport if necessary.
    5. Recreate or Repair Info Structure:

      • If the Info Structure is corrupted, consider deleting and recreating it.
      • Be cautious as deleting Info Structures can lead to data loss in LIS.
    6. Check OSS Notes:

      • Search SAP OSS Notes for VO703 and related Info Structure issues.
      • Sometimes SAP provides patches or corrections.

    Additional Information:

    • Info Structures are used in SAP LIS to store summarized data for reporting.
    • Table TMC4 contains the metadata for these Info Structures.
    • The error VO703 is informational but prevents further processing until resolved.
    • This error is common during data loads, LIS updates, or when running reports that rely on Info Structures.

    Summary:
