  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0029 - Object category and user ID must be maintained together ?
    SAP Error Message:
    W0029 - Object category and user ID must be maintained together
    
    
    Cause: This warning message occurs when you are trying to maintain or save an entry related to an object (such as a role, authorization object, or user assignment) where either the Object Category or the User ID is missing or not maintained properly. In SAP security and authorization contexts, certain entries require both fields to be filled simultaneously to ensure data consistency and proper assignment. For example, when assigning authorizations or roles, the system expects that if you specify an Object Category, you must also specify the User ID, and vice versa. If one is missing, the system raises this warning to prevent incomplete or inconsistent data.
    Solution: Maintain both fields: Ensure that when you enter or modify data, both the Object Category and the User ID fields are filled in together. Check the transaction or screen: Identify where the data entry is
