• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G00313 - Item &1 must be below item &2 in the item hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message G00313 indicates that there is a problem with the hierarchy of items in a particular context, such as when working with a bill of materials (BOM), a sales order, or a similar structure where items are organized hierarchically. The message specifically states that "Item &1 must be below item &2 in the item hierarchy," meaning that the system expects item &1 to be a subordinate or child item of item &2, but it is not positioned correctly in the hierarchy.
