  The SAP error message 1F147 ("There are no hierarchy types that can be edited") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to work with hierarchies in a data model or InfoObject, but the system cannot find any hierarchy types that can be modified.
  Causes:
  
  No Editable Hierarchy Types: The most common cause is that there are no hierarchy types defined for the InfoObject you are working with, or the existing hierarchy types are not set to be editable.
