SAP Message UGMD422 - Field &2 not specified as an external characteristic in hierarchies of &1

Diagnosis

However, the definition of characteristic &v1& in the assigned remotesystem does not corresond to this. Consequently correctsynchronization of the hierarchies for &v1& is not possible.

System Response

Procedure
Either enter field &v2& as an external characteristic in hierarchies inthe definition of field &v1&, or else assign other roles tocharacteristics &v1& or &v2&, so that they are independent of each otherwith regard to hierarchy maintenance.
