Error code - SM72_0042

The error is reported during SAP® synchronization. A conflict occurred while checking consistency rules.

Error message

Process step <name of the SAP function> was skipped because it is related to an unsynchronized Process Step Library item for which no SAP ID is specified. You must include the related Process Step Library in the synchronization for the process step to be synchronized.

Cause

When created in SAP Solution Manager, elements derived from the Process Step Library (PSL) require an existing process step original.

In contrast to SAP Solution Manager, in ARIS you can create occurrence copies from PSL elements (SAP function type Process step original) and place them into your business process structure, indicating that the business process step is identical with its process step original.

However, this works properly only if the PSL step is identified by its SAP ID. The SAP ID is specified when the PSL step is created in the PSL. If no SAP ID is specified for the PSL element in ARIS, you must include the PSL when performing the SAP synchronization.

Solution

Start the SAP synchronization on the branch root node. The library is synchronized before the business process structure.

After you created the process step originals, you can also transfer the PSL by starting the SAP synchronization in the root folder of the PSL. After the PSL is transferred, you can start the synchronization from inside the business process structure to avoid including the complete branch structure.
