• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/MSG402 - CU design with GUID & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /CUM/MSG402 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the Customizing (CU) design in the SAP system, specifically that a certain object identified by a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) does not exist. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access or modify a customizing object that has been deleted or not properly created.
  Causes:
  
  Deleted Object: The object associated with the GUID may have been deleted from the system.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process, leading to the object not being available in the target system.
  Incorrect GUID: The GUID being referenced may be incorrect or may not correspond to any existing object in the system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  System Configuration: There may be inconsistencies in the system configuration or database that prevent the object from being recognized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify the GUID: Check if the GUID is correct and corresponds to an existing object in the system. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to search for the object.
  Check Object Existence: Use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer) to check if the object exists in the transport requests and whether it has been properly imported into the system.
  Recreate the Object: If the object has been deleted, you may need to recreate it manually or restore it from a backup if available.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  Consult Logs: Review system logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context on the issue.
  System Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the customizing objects to identify any discrepancies or issues.
