  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMR156 - Risk group '&1' was moved below another node ?

    The SAP error message UMR156 indicates that a risk group has been moved below another node in the risk management hierarchy, which can lead to issues with risk analysis and reporting.

    3. Update Risk Group Relationships: Ensure that all relationships and dependencies between risk groups are correctly defined and maintained after any changes.
