  The SAP error message USMD6029 indicates that there is an issue with the entity type not being contained in the specified edition type. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when working with data models and editions.
  Cause:
  The error message "Entity type &2 not contained in edition type &1" usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Configuration Issue: The entity type you are trying to use is not properly configured or is not included in the specified edition type. This can happen if the entity type was not added to the edition type during the configuration process.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as adding or removing entity types, the edition type may not reflect these changes.
  
  
  Incorrect Edition Type: The edition type you are referencing may not be the correct one for the entity type you are trying to work with.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for your MDG system.
  Verify that the entity type (denoted as &2 in the error message) is included in the edition type (denoted as &1).

  Review Data Model:
