SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message number: 208

• Message text: Cannot delete entity &2 (entity type &1); contained in another hierarchy

What causes this issue?

As a rule, entities can only be deleted if they are in only <ZH>one</>
hierarchy (as the end node). The entity &V2& of entity type &V1& is in
the hierarchy of entity type &V3& and in at least the hierarchy of
entity type &V4& as well. It therefore cannot be deleted.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

First remove all the places where entity &V2& of entity type &V1& is in
the hierarchy of entity type &V4&. You can then delete the entity.
