• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0015 - You can only delete the master data of hierarchy &1 ?

  The SAP error message G0015, which states "You can only delete the master data of hierarchy &1," typically occurs when you attempt to delete a hierarchy node or master data that is part of a hierarchy structure in SAP. This error indicates that the system is preventing the deletion because the node is still being referenced or is part of a larger hierarchy.
  
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Dependency: The node you are trying to delete is part of a hierarchy that has dependencies. This means that other nodes or data may rely on the existence of this node.
  Active Assignments: The node may have active assignments or relationships with other data objects, making it impossible to delete without first removing those dependencies.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that the deletion of master data does not lead to inconsistencies in the hierarchy or related data.
