• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/BC212 - Itm ty. hgh. lvl and itm ty. pred. must not be filled if hier.ty. is DLG ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/BC212 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the hierarchy type in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, the error states that the item type high level (Itm ty. hgh. lvl) and item type prediction (Itm ty. pred.) must not be filled if the hierarchy type is set to DLG (which typically stands for "Delisting").
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to create or modify a planning object (like a product or a location) in SAP SCM/APO, and the system detects that the item type high level and item type prediction fields are populated while the hierarchy type is set to DLG. According to the business logic defined in the system, these fields should remain empty when the hierarchy type is DLG.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Type: Verify if the hierarchy type is indeed set to DLG. If it is not necessary for the item to be in this hierarchy type, consider changing it to a different type that allows the item type high level and item type prediction to be filled.
  
  
  Clear Fields: If the hierarchy type must remain as DLG, you will need to clear the values in the item type high level and item type prediction fields. This can usually be done in the relevant transaction or configuration screen where you are entering or modifying the planning object.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure why the hierarchy type is set to DLG or if it should be changed, consult with your SAP configuration team or refer to the documentation for your specific business processes to understand the implications of changing these settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
