  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMK155 - Measure '&1' in version &2 was moved below a new parent node ?

    The SAP error message UMK155 indicates that a measure (in this case, identified as '&1') in a specific version (identified as '&2') has been moved below a new parent node in the context of a data model or hierarchy. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud, where measures and dimensions are organized in a hierarchical structure.

    Cause:

    1. Hierarchy Changes: The measure has been restructured in the data model, possibly due to changes in the hierarchy or the parent-child relationships within the data model.
    2. Versioning Issues: The version specified may have been altered or updated, leading to the measure being reassigned to a different parent node.
    3. Data Model Updates: Changes made to the underlying data model, such as adding or removing nodes, can lead to this error if the measure is not properly aligned with the new structure.

    Solution:

    1. Review Hierarchy Structure: Check the hierarchy structure in the data model to ensure that the measure is correctly assigned to the appropriate parent node. You may need to adjust the hierarchy to reflect the intended structure.
    2. Update Versioning: If the version has been updated, ensure that all measures and dimensions are correctly aligned with the new version. You may need to reassign the measure to the correct parent node.
    3. Reassign Measures: If the measure has been moved unintentionally, you can manually reassign it to the correct parent node within the data model.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling hierarchy changes and measures in your version of SAP.
    5. Testing: After making changes, test the data model to ensure that the measure is functioning correctly and that the error message no longer appears.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional context on handling measures and hierarchies.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
