SAP Message UGMD176 - Warning: Another role change needed; see long text

Diagnosis
You have changed the delivered basis field assignments (UGMD2200) forparticular fields. However, simply changing the table UGMD2200 isnot sufficient in itself to ensure any required automaticadaptations of existing registrations of these fields.

System Response
Only in the case of role changes is the necessary change processautomatically covered by the master data framework through a new roletime stamp. Simply making a change to table UGMD2200 does notensure this. As developer you have to take responsibility for smoothdelivery.

Procedure
Switch to role maintenance, and make anadditional change to the relevant role that ensures automaticadaption of all appropriate registrations. This may involve a purelyformal change (such as saving a change and then cancelling it again).What matters is that the role receives a new time stamp (tableUGMD1000, field TIMESTAMP) and that this role is central enough so thatall relevant registrations are actually entered by it later.
Once you have maintained table UGMD2200 including a suitable rolechange, the master data framework automatically covers the adaptions toexisting registrations:

  • Obsolete buffered field attributes are automatically updated.

  • The newly assigned basis field is automatically registered in all
  • relevant databases if necessary .
    • If necessary the DDIC structures are regenerated.

    • The delivery case (upgrade or Support Package) is likewise covered.
