• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2060 - Ent.type &2, UI el. &1: UI element and higher-lvl UI element are the same ?

  The SAP error message USMD2060 typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is a configuration issue related to UI elements in the data model. This error indicates that there is a conflict where a UI element is being defined in such a way that it is considered to be the same as its higher-level UI element, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error message "Ent.type &2, UI el. &1: UI element and higher-lvl UI element are the same" suggests that:
  
  You have defined a UI element (e.g., a field or a group of fields) that is supposed to be a child or subordinate to a higher-level UI element.
  However, the system detects that the child UI element is being defined in a way that it is identical to the higher-level UI element, which creates a logical conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check UI Configuration: 
  
  Go to the UI configuration for the specific entity type (Ent.type &2) and locate the UI element (UI el. &1) that is causing the issue.
  Ensure that the child UI element is not defined with the same properties or identifiers as the higher-level UI element.
  
  
  
  Modify UI Element Definitions:
  
  If the child UI element is meant to be a distinct element, modify its definition to ensure it has a unique identifier or properties that differentiate it from the higher-level UI element.
  If the child UI element should not exist, consider removing it from the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Hierarchical Structure:
  
  Review the hierarchical structure of your UI elements to ensure that the relationships are correctly defined. The child elements should logically belong to the parent without duplicating the parent's definition.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the UI to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the UI behaves as expected.
