  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_IMPORT222 indicates that there is an issue with the material categories being imported into the system. Specifically, it states that two material categories (&1 and &2) are not allowed to be on the same level in the hierarchy, as indicated by the third parameter (&3).
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when you are trying to import or create materials in SAP that belong to different categories that are not permitted to coexist at the same hierarchical level. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Material Category Assignment: The material categories assigned to the materials being imported may not be compatible with each other based on the configuration in the system.
  Hierarchy Configuration: The configuration of material categories in the system may have restrictions that prevent certain categories from being on the same level.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data being imported, such as incorrect mappings or relationships between the material categories.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Category Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of material categories in the SAP system. Ensure that the categories you are trying to import are allowed to coexist at the same level.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (usually found in the customizing settings under Logistics or Material Management).
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Categories:
  
  If the material categories are indeed incompatible, you may need to adjust the material category assignments in your import data. Ensure that materials with incompatible categories are not being imported together.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Validate the data you are trying to import. Check for any inconsistencies or errors in the material category assignments.
  Ensure that the data format and structure comply with the requirements of the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on material category configurations and restrictions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test import with a smaller dataset to ensure that the error does not occur again.
