• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMDZ3089 - &1 &2: Item &3 has more subnodes in the hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message USMDZ3089 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy structure in the Master Data Governance (MDG) application.

  Solution:
  
  Review Hierarchy Structure: Check the hierarchy structure in the MDG application to ensure that it is defined correctly and that the number of subnodes for each item adheres to the defined limits.
  Adjust Subnodes: If the item has too many subnodes, consider restructuring the hierarchy by either consolidating some subnodes or reassigning them to different parent nodes.
  Data Validation: Validate the data entries to ensure that they conform to the expected hierarchy structure. This may involve checking for duplicates or unnecessary nodes.
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings in the MDG system to ensure that they are set up correctly to accommodate the required hierarchy structure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing hierarchies in MDG.
