• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_BUS003 - Impossible to import structure &1 order id &2 (version incompatible) ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_STORAGE_BUS003 Impossible to import structure &1 order id &2 (version incompatible)
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Data Synchronization (GDS) or SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to import or synchronize data structures/orders between systems or components that have incompatible versions.
  
  Cause
  
  Version incompatibility: The structure or order you are trying to import was created or modified in a different version of the software or data model than the target system supports.
  Mismatch in data model or software component versions: The source system or the data package uses a newer or older version of the structure/order than the target system.
  Transport or synchronization of objects between systems with different enhancement or patch levels can cause this error.
  Inconsistent or missing metadata: The target system does not recognize the structure because the metadata or dictionary objects are not aligned.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check version compatibility:
  
  Verify the versions of the data structures/orders in both source and target systems.
  Ensure that both systems are on compatible patch levels or support the same versions of the data models.
  
  
  
  Update or synchronize metadata:
  
  Import or update the relevant data dictionary objects, structures, or enhancement packages in the target system to match the source.
  Use SAP transport requests or software component upgrades to align versions.
  
  
  
  Recreate or adjust the structure/order:
  
  If possible, recreate the structure/order in the target system using the correct version.
  Adjust the source data to match the target system’s supported version.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes and documentation:
  
  Look for SAP Notes related to WGDS_STORAGE_BUS003 or version incompatibility issues in GDS/MDG.
  SAP Notes may provide patches or detailed instructions for version alignment.
  
  
  
  Consult system logs and trace:
  
  Analyze system logs (ST22, SM21) and application logs for more detailed error context.
  Use debugging or trace tools to identify the exact version mismatch.
