• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_ARUN_MSG371 - &1 should be maintained if subsequent levels are maintained ?

  The SAP error message FSH_ARUN_MSG371 typically indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the maintenance of certain hierarchical levels in the system. This error often arises in the context of the SAP Fashion Management (FMS) or similar modules where hierarchical structures (like product hierarchies, categories, or other classifications) are used.
  Cause:
  The error message states that a specific level (denoted by &1) must be maintained if subsequent levels are already maintained. This usually means that there is a missing entry or configuration at a higher level in the hierarchy that is required for the system to function correctly. For example, if you have defined certain attributes or characteristics at a lower level but have not defined the corresponding attributes at the higher level, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Level: Check the error message for the specific level indicated by &1. This will tell you which level in the hierarchy is missing the required maintenance.
  
  
  Maintain the Required Level:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP where you can maintain the hierarchical structure.
  Ensure that the necessary attributes or settings for the indicated level are properly defined and maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Hierarchical Relationships: Review the relationships between different levels in the hierarchy to ensure that they are correctly set up. If a lower level is dependent on a higher level, the higher level must be maintained first.
  
  
  Validate Data: After making the necessary changes, validate the data to ensure that the hierarchy is now complete and that there are no further missing entries.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Once you have made the necessary adjustments, test the functionality that was previously causing the error to ensure that it now works as expected.
