The error is reported during SAP® synchronization. A conflict occurred while checking consistency rules.
Error message
Element <name of element> was skipped because its parent was not checked out in the SAP® system.
Cause
You are trying to add new items of a solution via a maintenance project, but you have not checked out the superior structural element of the solution first. It is possible that new processes including process steps were defined for a scenario that was checked out. The newly created process will be transferred, but cannot be checked out automatically. Therefore, the newly created process steps cannot be transferred.
Solution
If you want to edit a solution using a maintenance project, check out the entire scenario. If you are adding new processes including process steps, please proceed as follows:
- First add the new processes (SAP® synchronization).
- In the SAP® system, perform a check-in so that the process becomes part of the solution.
- Check out the entire scenario in the SAP® system again.
- Add the new process steps (SAP® synchronization).
This process is necessary so that SAP® Solution Manager does not permit automatic checking out of newly added items.
