USMD2261 - Details

• The SAP error message USMD2261 typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an issue related to the data model configuration, specifically when trying to use "sets" for a particular entity type that does not support it.
  
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that the operation you are trying to perform (involving "sets") is not allowed for the specified entity type. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Entity Type Limitation: The entity type you are working with may not be configured to support sets. In SAP MDG, not all entity types are designed to handle sets, which are collections of data records.
  Data Model Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model where the entity type is not properly set up to allow for set operations.
  Versioning Issues: If you are working with different versions of the data model or if there are inconsistencies in the data model
