• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD_XI_PROXY023 - Entity type &1 containing hier. has no edition; replication not possible ?

  The SAP error message USMD_XI_PROXY023 indicates that there is an issue with the replication of an entity type that contains a hierarchy but does not have an associated edition. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to replicate data that is expected to have a certain structure or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Edition: The entity type specified in the error message does not have an edition defined. Editions are used in SAP MDG to manage different versions or states of master data.
  Hierarchy Structure: The entity type may be part of a hierarchy, and without an edition, the system cannot determine how to replicate the data correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the MDG setup that prevent the proper association of editions with the entity types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Edition Configuration:
  
  Go to the MDG configuration settings and verify if the entity type in question has an edition defined.
  If it does not, you will need to create an edition for that entity type.
  
  
  
  Define Editions:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP MDG (usually under the "Data Model" or "Entity Types" section).
  Create or assign an edition to the entity type that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Review Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Ensure that the hierarchy settings for the entity type are correctly configured.
  Check if the hierarchy is properly defined and linked to the edition.
  
  
  
  Replication Settings:
  
  Review the replication settings for the entity type to ensure that they are correctly set up to handle hierarchies and editions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the replication process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring editions and hierarchies.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP MDG documentation for detailed instructions on managing editions and hierarchies.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the missing edition and ensuring that the hierarchy is properly configured, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with the replication process.
