• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IFME_TREE_CHECK094 - Node &1 must use the same delimiter settings as node &2 ?

  The SAP error message IFME_TREE_CHECK094 indicates that there is a mismatch in the delimiter settings between two nodes in a hierarchical structure, typically in the context of a master data or configuration tree. This error often arises when you are trying to create or modify a structure that involves multiple nodes, and the delimiter settings (such as the character used to separate values) for these nodes do not match.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the nodes in question are expected to have consistent delimiter settings, but they currently do not. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual changes made to the delimiter settings of one of the nodes.
  Importing or migrating data that has inconsistent delimiter settings.
  Configuration errors during the setup of the hierarchical structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the delimiter settings for the nodes in question are consistent. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Nodes: Determine which nodes are causing the issue. The error message will specify the node numbers (e.g., &1 and &2).
  
  
  Check Delimiter Settings: 
  
  Go to the configuration or master data maintenance transaction where the nodes are defined.
  Check the delimiter settings for both nodes. This can usually be found in the settings or attributes of the nodes.
  
  
  
  Align Delimiter Settings: 
  
  Modify the delimiter settings of one of the nodes to match the other. Ensure that both nodes use the same character or setting for delimiters.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the operation again that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After resolving the issue, test the configuration to ensure that it works as expected without triggering the error again.
