S/4HANA: MCEX185 Error while reading table TMCEXUPD

 An issue preventing us from posting Goods Receipts against Purchase Orders and the error message we're seeing is "Error while reading table TMCEXUPD. 

We are  currently facing an issue preventing us from posting Goods Receipts (GR) against Purchase Orders, and the error message we're seeing is "Error while reading table TMCEXUPD."

This particular error (Message no. MCEX185) typically occurs because there are missing entries in either the TMCEXUPD or TMCEXACT tables within our current SAP client configuration. This is crucial for various SAP operations, including Goods Receipts.

To resolve this and allow for GR postings:

1. Verify Tables: We need to check the contents of tables TMCEXUPD and TMCEXACT in our current client.
2. Compare with Client 000: Compare these contents with the standard SAP "Client 000."
3. Copy Missing Entries:
• If entries are present in Client 000 but missing in our client, we should copy them overusing a standard SAP transport.
• If Client 000 also lacks the entries, we'll need to source them from another functional SAP system.

Important: Please ensure that only standard SAP client copy or transport tools are used for this process, as direct database manipulations are not effective for this specific issue.
