• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMDZ10037 - Hierarchy name and parent node must have different values. ?

  The SAP error message USMDZ10037 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy structure in the Master Data Governance (MDG) application. Specifically, the error states that the hierarchy name and the parent node must have different values. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a hierarchy node in a way that violates the rules of hierarchy naming conventions.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Names: The hierarchy node you are trying to create or modify has the same name as its parent node. In a hierarchy, each node must have a unique name that distinguishes it from its parent.

  Check Node Names: Review the names of the hierarchy nodes you are working with. Ensure that the name of the new node is different from the name of its parent node.
  Modify Node Name: If you find that the new node has the same name as the parent, change the name of the new node to something unique.
  Review Hierarchy Structure: Ensure that the overall structure of the hierarchy is correct and that all nodes are properly defined.
  Validation: After making changes, validate the hierarchy to ensure that there are no other conflicts or issues.
