• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2032 - UI element &1: Entity type &2 does not permit hierarchy relationships ?

  The SAP error message USMD2032 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy relationships in the context of the Master Data Governance (MDG) application. Specifically, it states that the UI element (e.g., a field or component in the user interface) is trying to establish a hierarchy relationship for an entity type that does not support it.
  Cause:
  
  Entity Type Configuration: The entity type you are working with is not configured to allow hierarchy relationships. This could be due to the settings in the data model or the configuration of the entity type in the MDG system.
  Incorrect Data Model: The data model may not have been set up correctly to support hierarchical relationships for the specific entity type.
  UI Configuration: The UI configuration might be attempting to display or manipulate hierarchy data for an entity that does not support it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Entity Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the MDG data model configuration and verify the settings for the entity type in question. Ensure that it is configured to allow hierarchy relationships if that is intended.
  If the entity type should support hierarchies, you may need to adjust the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Ensure that the data model is correctly defined to support hierarchical relationships. This may involve checking the relationships and attributes defined for the entity type.
  
  
  
  UI Configuration:
  
  Review the UI configuration for the application. Ensure that the UI elements are correctly set up to handle the data types and relationships defined in the data model.
  If the UI is trying to display hierarchy information for an entity that does not support it, you may need to modify the UI configuration to remove or adjust those elements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
