• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2010 - Entity type &2, UI element &1: Preceding UI element &3 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message USMD2010 typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an issue with the configuration of the UI elements in the data model. This error indicates that a specific UI element (denoted as &1) is trying to reference a preceding UI element (denoted as &3) that does not exist in the current context or configuration for the specified entity type (denoted as &2).
  Cause:
  
  Missing UI Element: The UI element that is expected to precede the current element is not defined in the UI configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the UI configuration settings, such as the sequence of UI elements or the visibility settings.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or entity type may have led to the removal or renaming of the preceding UI element.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport that caused the UI elements to not be properly set up.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check UI Configuration: Review the UI configuration for the entity type in question. Ensure that the preceding UI element (denoted as &3) is correctly defined and exists in the configuration.
  Adjust Sequence: If the UI elements are sequenced incorrectly, adjust the order to ensure that the preceding element is defined before the current element.
  Recreate Missing Elements: If the preceding UI element is missing, you may need to recreate it in the UI configuration.
  Review Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that all UI elements are still valid and correspond to the current data model.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were successfully imported into the target system.
