• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP371 - Higher-level object &1 &2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP371 Higher-level object &1 &2 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or related functionalities, particularly when dealing with hierarchical data structures. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a higher-level object that is required for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Higher-Level Object: The most common cause of this error is that the higher-level object (e.g., a parent object in a hierarchy) does not exist in the system. This could be due to data not being created or imported correctly.
  Incorrect Object Reference: The reference to the higher-level object may be incorrect, either due to a typo or because the object has been deleted or not yet created.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as orphaned records that reference non-existent higher-level objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the higher-level object (indicated by &1 and &2 in the error message) exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., SE11 for data dictionary objects, SE80 for repository objects).
  Create Missing Objects: If the higher-level object does not exist, you may need to create it. Ensure that all necessary parent objects are created before attempting to create or import child objects.
  Check Data Import Logic: If you are importing data, review the import logic to ensure that it correctly handles the creation of higher-level objects before lower-level ones.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on your data to identify and resolve any orphaned records or inconsistencies.
  Review Custom Code: If you are using custom code or enhancements, review them to ensure they are correctly handling object relationships.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing the objects in question. For example, use SE11 for data dictionary objects or SE80 for repository objects.
