• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/FTI_TECH_ERROR078 - Error validating foreign key relationship to BCO &1 ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/FTI_TECH_ERROR078 indicates an issue with validating a foreign key relationship in the context of the SAP system's configuration. This error typically arises when there is a problem with the data integrity between two tables, specifically when a foreign key constraint is not being met.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The foreign key in the child table does not have a corresponding primary key in the parent table. This can happen if records were deleted or not created properly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the foreign key relationship may be incorrect, leading to validation errors.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that violate the foreign key constraints.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another, the transport might not have included all necessary data or configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Integrity:
  
  Verify that all foreign key values in the child table exist in the parent table. You can run SQL queries to check for orphaned records.
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table definitions and relationships.
  
  
  
  Correct Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the foreign key relationship in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO).
  Ensure that the foreign key constraints are correctly defined in the data dictionary.
  
  
  
  Data Correction:
  
  If you find missing records, you may need to insert the necessary records into the parent table or remove the orphaned records from the child table.
  If data was incorrectly entered, correct the entries to ensure they meet the foreign key constraints.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the missing objects or manually adjust the configurations.
