  The SAP error message HP_LOAD011 indicates that a hierarchy node specified in the data load is not defined in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) when you are trying to load hierarchical data, and one or more nodes referenced in your data load do not exist in the target hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Node: The specific hierarchy node (&1) that you are trying to load does not exist in the hierarchy defined for the data load (&2).
  Incorrect Data Load Configuration: The data load configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to references to non-existent nodes.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data being loaded, such as typos or incorrect identifiers for the hierarchy nodes.
  
  Solution:
